March 9, 2018: Zalgiris-Fener 78-85 (Jankunas, Pangos 14 - Datome 16, Sloukas 15)

Important Game Points

1. Fenerbahce's defensive pressure is one of the best in Eurolegue this season, so it will be a crucial factor how Zalgiris' guards will respond.
2. Turnovers made will play an importan role, as Zalgiris commited most than any other team (13,1 TPG) and is essential for them to be more focused.
3. Kostas Sloukas & Brad Wanameker for Fenerbahce dictate the offense and their scoring & passing is the key to Zeljko Obradovic's offense. Kevin Pangos is the on-court leader for Sarunas Jasikevicius's team and his shooting and precision passing has helped his team throughout the season.
4. For Fenerbahce, an "X-factor" could be Gudiric, a guars who replaced Bogdanovic and showed flashes of his scoring skills mainly in the last regular season games, as well as Nicolo Melli, a stretch PF with great shooting ability. As for Zalgiris,
