Kaunas Sports Hall is the home of great basketball once again. FC Barcelona and Panathinaikos Athens had the honor of playing the first basketball game since the famed hall was refurbished when they opened the Euroleague Basketball Adidas Next Generation Tournament Finals on Thursday morning.
Nearly two dozen scouts from around the world were on hand to catch the action. All of the basketball-related equipment for the event is state of the art with the hardwood floor coming from Zalgiris Kaunas, while Euroleague Basketball arranged for brand-new baskets and stanchions as well as scoreboards.
