Olympiacos Piraeus B.c. hold off Zalgiris Kaunas 93–91 in a nail-biter
Valanciunas brings the anchor down low. The big man has been Lithuania's most efficient force in recent weeks, posting a 68 TIB rating on 13 points and 2 assists per game — the kind of interior gravity that pins defences in one half of the court and creates seams everywhere else. Vezenkov answers from the perimeter. Olympiacos' forward has climbed to 60 TIB efficiency himself, averaging 17 points a night with the shooting range to punish any defence stretched thin. One scorer operates from the paint in; the other operates from distance out. Both are running at peak form. The matchup turns on movement and spacing. Can Zalgiris' interior dominance force Olympiacos into uncomfortable rotations, or will Vezenkov's range keep the floor open enough to hunt weaknesses? The answer will likely decide the night. Tip-off approaches. Watch both men work.
