Teams Preview

LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne

LDLC ASVEL struggled in their 81‑73 EuroLeague loss to Hapoel Tel Aviv, failing to close out a game they led for stretches and dropping to 6‑16 on the season.

Glynn Watson scored 17 points, Shaquille Harrison added 14 points and Melvin Ajinca added 12 points, but that production wasn’t enough to counter Hapoel’s balanced attack and rebounding edge.

Offensively, ASVEL shot 60% from the two point range, 30.3% from the perimeter and 70% from the free throw line, while dishing out 18 assists, but their shooting efficiency dipped in key moments and couldn’t match Hapoel’s aggression at the free throw line. Defensively, they got outrebounded 29-33 and conceded high efficiency looks. They also committed 19 turnovers, which proved costly down the stretch.

This loss highlighted ASVEL’s need for more consistent scoring and defensive stops as they continue their EuroLeague campaign. Overall, the team averages 78.2 points per game, while dishing out 16.6 assists. Defensively, they grab 33.7 rebounds, 6.9 steals and 3.1 blocks per game.

Zalgiris Kaunas

Zalgiris Kaunas fell 100‑97 to Maccabi Tel Aviv in a tightly contested EuroLeague Round 22 game, showing grit but ultimately coming up short on the road.

Sylvain Francisco led the charge with 22 points, 6 assists and 4 rebounds, while Moses Wright added 17 points and controlled the boards with 11 rebounds. Azuolas Tubelis added 15 points, providing scoring support, but their efforts weren’t enough.

Offensively, Zalgiris shot efficiently, hitting 60.6% from the two point range and 90% from the free throw line, but turnovers (11) and a late clutch sequence swung momentum back to Maccabi. Defensively, they controlled the boards 36-34, scoring second chance points and stayed within striking distance, yet couldn’t complete the comeback against a seasoned Maccabi squad.

The close loss left Zalgiris with a 12‑10 EuroLeague record, still solid in the highly competitive standings, but highlighted areas to tighten up in clutch situations as they aim for consistency in the second half of the season.

Overall, the team has been averaging 87.8 points per game, supported by their 19.6 assists per game. Defensively, they record 35.8 rebounds, 5.8 steals and 2.7 blocks per game in this EuroLeague season.
