Valencia Basket added its first victory as a visitor in the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague with a demonstration of solidity to win on the Zalgiris Kaunas court by 72-87. After a few first minutes of equality, the Taronja team dealt a blow to the game with a 3-19 run between the end of the first quarter and the beginning of the second. Although Evans and Smits tried to wake up their team, Valencia Basket returned the blows thanks to Touré and Jones to leave with a lead of 22 points at halftime. The taronja team first contained the Lithuanian reaction from defense and when Zalgiris Kaunas found success, Harper and Reuvers appeared to defend the advantage already in the last act. Despite the offensive appearance of Evans, Jones took over the offensive relief to defend the advantage and close the fourth victory in European competition by 72-87.
