Leader of the EuroLeague before the 8th day, Zalgiris Kaunas fell to Bayern Munich (77-74). With its fifth victory in a row, Gordon Herbert's team comes back to level with the Lithuanians (6 wins and 2 defeats).
However, the Bavarians scared themselves as they were up to 16 points ahead. But the visitors, out of the game at the start of the match (19-7, 10′), came back to score, even more so when Sylvain Francisco (20 points at 6/15 on shots, 3 assists, 3 lost balls and 9 fouls provoked for 16 evaluation in 23 minutes) scored two big 3-point baskets coming out of pick and roll in the last minute. Only, at +3, Bayern Munich made a mistake on the French leader so that he could not equalize with a third 3-point basket. After missing the first free throw, the Parisian deliberately missed the second in the hope that his team would recover the offensive rebound. What happened. But Brady Manek completely missed his attempt. Enough to leave victory to Bayern Munich.
Note that Lonnie Walker completely missed his first match with Kaunas (0 points at 0/8 on shots, -9 rating in 13 minutes).
