Efes (2-5) is trying to leave behind the bad start in the Euroleague and to cover the lost ground in the standings. But they still have a long way to go… The Turks showed some signs of life against Zalgiris at home (94-60), but this game is not difficult enough to make safe assumptions for improvement. At the moment, the Lithuanians are by far one of the worst teams in the Euroleague. On the other hand, problems have been reduced for coach Ataman; Micic and Simon overcame their injuries, but shooting guard James Anderson remains out. To top this, center Dunston is doubtful.
Zenit (4-3) had a burst out against Baskonia at home (83-54) and improved their psychology in view of tonight’s crash-test against Efes in Turkey. Shooting guard Jordan Loyd was again in excellent condition (20 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists), while Russian playmaker Kulagin (12 points, 4/5 three-pointers) helped a lot coming from the bench. Unfortunately, nothing has changed in the medical report for Xavi Pascual; American playmaker Shabazz Napier remains injured.
