Beşiktaş Chase Fifth EuroLeague Win Against Žalgiris

Beşiktaş host Žalgiris Kaunas on Friday, 6 November, in Round 10 of the EuroLeague. The game tips off at 20:00 Istanbul time at the Turkcell Basketball Development Centre. Beşiktaş enter the round at 4–5, one win behind their Lithuanian visitors.

Beşiktaş won 103–101 away at Virtus Bologna in Round 9 after trailing 74–70 heading into the final quarter. Head coach Dušan Alimpijević said his team stayed composed in the closing moments and noted that five key rotation players had been unavailable for that game.

Eurohoops columnist Aris Barkas identified the Žalgiris game as a chance for Beşiktaş to reach 5–5 and move closer to the top ten.
