Zalgiris Kaunas got another on the road win against LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne 74-83 in the same manner with every win they got so far. They had to fight back from a double-digit deficit to collect a hard-fought win, And they did. Marius Grigonis scored 25 points for Zalgiris, while Lukas Lekavicius added 13 points and Thomas Walkup totaled 11 points, 7 rebounds, and 7 assists for the Lithuanian side. And they stayed in the first place for yet another round. 

A tough game is predicted for the hosts tonight. Real Madrid's offense is always dangerous and Zalgiris must do everything possible to keep the visitors from getting easy points. And of course, keep Real from getting its way in transition. They just have to dictate the pace if they want to make it through tonight. 

Finally last week we saw the real Real Madrid. The Spanish side was underachieving for five rounds, but when they host Bayern Munich they decided that enough is enough. And so they beat the Germans 100-82 performing in an excellent manner for the first time this season. They travel to Kaunas tonight to establish a winning streak. 

Real Madrid's defence was as aggressive as we used to know. And so they allow their opponents to score easily. They have to fix that. And also to start to play more in the paint. So the pressure is on their playmakers. If they start to perform close to their potential then the Spanish club could make the needed restart in this years campaign.  

The overall record in Euroleague since 2000, is Zalgiris Kaunas v Real Madrid 3-19.

When this year's Euroleague campaign started, no one would bet that Marius Grionis and Alberto Abalde would play such a key role for their team. And yet Grigonis is making 44.4% of his three-pointers and Abalde connecting on 56.3%. And also they help a lot from every aspect. Despite the fact that both teams have more high-profile players, those two are quite a barometer for their clubs, and their performance tonight is expected to be crucial.
