after a bit of time to reflect on a five-game road losing streak to start the season, Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz answered the bell and took down Zalgiris Kaunas 70-83

Staring at a losing streak, Baskonia answered the bell for first road win

[Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/baskonia-vitoria-gasteiz/roster/bas/) looked done and dusted with a 16-point deficit in one of the toughest places to play. But after a bit of time to reflect on a five-game road losing streak to start the season, the Spanish side answered the bell and took down [Zalgiris Kaunas](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/zalgiris-kaunas/roster/zal/). 

Baskonia reeled off 16 straight points spanning the third and fourth quarters to erase Zalgiris’s lead and ended up running away in the final minute for [a 70-83 victory](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/news/baskonia-rallies-to-beat-zalgiris-70-83-for-first-road-win/) to improve to 5-7 - and 1-5 away from home.

“Going into halftime we knew we needed to come out with more energy, more physicality and more just coming out and being us: having fun playing the game. We knew Zalgiris was going to fight like they always do. We matched their energy,” said [Donta Hall](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/donta-hall/011196/), who was all over the place with 14 points, 11 rebounds and 3 blocks. 

“I feel a lot of our games this season have been we go down a lot and we start fighting. Me personally, I never feel like the game is over, no matter what the score is. As long as there is time on the board,” added [Chima Moneke](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/chima-moneke/012201/), who tallied a team-high 17 points with 3 three-pointers and 5 rebounds. 

[Coach Pablo Laso](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/baskonia-vitoria-gasteiz/bas/laso-pablo/) praised two of his team’s unsung heroes - [Kamar Baldwin](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/kamar-baldwin/012597/) and [Trent Forrest](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/trent-forrest/013367/), who contributed 10 points and 6 assists; and 14 points respectively. 

“Kamar and Trent gave us a lot of intensity defensively. We got some steals and were able to run and we caught up quickly and we didn’t let them finish the game. That was important because we made them doubt themselves,” said the veteran coach. 

The 0-16 run turned a 57-40 deficit into a 57-57 tie game and Baskonia eventually pushed the gap out to 61-68. The Spanish side fought off a strong stretch from Zalgiris’s [Lonnie Walker](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/lonnie-walker-iv/013403/) and got the win. 

It was a strong answer for Baskonia, which according to Hall was able to use the national team break from domestic league action to work on its game:

“Us coming off this break was like a sign of reality. We are on a five-game losing streak. We gotta figure something out here. We had good physical practices and this is what you get.”

Good practices during the national team break helped Baskonia lay foundation for big victory

Baskonia rallies to beat Zalgiris, 70-83, for first road win

Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz rallied from 16 points down to surprise Zalgiris Kaunas 70-83 and finally collect its first road victory of the season. Baskonia went on a 0-16 run spanning the final two quarters to erase the big deficit and finished the game with the final 11 points to improve to 5-7 - and 1-5 away from home.

Chima Moneke scored 17 points to pace five Baskonia scorers in double figures with Donta Hall collecting 14 points, 11 rebounds and 3 blocks, Trent Forrest adding 14 points and Kamar Baldwin and Nikos Ragkovapoulos both chipping in 10 points. Zalgirs looked like it was flying high with 4 minutes left in the third quarter but crashed back to earth for a 7-5 record - including 5-2 at home. Lonnie Walker scored 9 of his 19 points in the closing minutes but they were not enough. Deividas Sirvydis contributed 14 points in the loss.

The game went back and forth in the opening minutes with six lead changes and two ties when Markus Howard started a 2-11 run over nearly 5 minutes to put Baskonia ahead 11-19. Zalgiris netted the final 6 points of the first quarter to end it down 17-19. 

Zalgiris inched closer with a Matt Mitchell free throw to close within 18-19. Ragkavopoulos snapped a more than 4-minute scoreless drought for Baskonia with a triple and Moneke added a three-pointer of his own to make it 20-25. The Zalgiris charge continued with a Walker three-pointer among his 7 points to pull ahead 31-28. Back-to-back triples from Sirvydis and Dovydas Giedraitis and a long ball from Alen Smailagic had Zalgiris up 42-33. And the gap was 42-35 at the break.

Baskonia tried to stay close and was down just 47-41. Laurynas Birtutis stepped up in the paint with 5 points and a block and Sirvydis knocked down a three-pointer as the cushion swelled to 57-41. The Zalgiris offense dried up for the next 4 minutes and Baskonia finished the third quarter with the final 11 points to trail just 57-52 after 30 minutes.

Moneke’s three and Forrest’s jumper started the final frame and increased the visitors' run to 0-16 to tie the game at 57-57. Smailagic ended Zalgiris’s nearly 6-minute scoreless drought. Baskonia, however, nosed ahead on a Moneke triple to lead 61-62. Baldwin and Rogkavopoulos both added three-pointers to put Baskonia up 61-68. Walker willed Zalgiris back into the game with 9 straight points to make it 70-72. Zalgiris could not hit another shot and Baskonia went 10 for 10 from the free throw line in the final 66 seconds. 

Baskonia came back from 16 down as Zalgiris collapsed in final 14 minutes

Besiktas Fibabanka Istanbul outscored Dolomiti Energia Trento 22-43 in the middle two quarters to take control en route to a 68-83 victory at Il T Quotidiano Arena on Thursday 

Besiktas hammers Trento, 68-83, on the road

Besiktas Fibabanka Istanbul outscored Dolomiti Energia Trento 22-43 in the middle two quarters to take control en route to a 68-83 victory at Il T Quotidiano Arena on Thursday night. The result saw Besiktas climb into at least a share of fourth place in Group A with a 5-4 record, while Trento slipped to 3-6.

Kelan Martin paced the winning effort with 13 points, Yigit Arslan and Berk Ugurlu added 12 points apiece and Jonah Mathews scored 10. Quin Ellis, Myles Cale and Toto Forray all scored 13 for Trento and Anthony Lamb had 12 in defeat.

Lamb and Cale got Trento going before Dustin Sleva and Kyle Allman answered back for the visitors. The hosts clamped down on defense and pushed the ball on offense with Cale capping an 8-0 run for a 12-4 lead. Ugurlu and Sleva came alive to rally Besiktas within 16-13. Lamb gave Trento some breathing room only to see Sleva and Allman keep Besiktas in the hunt. Toto Forray's layup made it 20-17 after 10 minutes.  

Cale remained hot with a pretty move in the paint for Trento but Arslan was even hotter with a pair of threes to give the visitors their first lead, 22-23. Andrea Pecchia scored straight off a Trento timeout, Jordan Ford netted a free throw after Besiktas head coach Dusan Alimpijevic was called for a technical foul and Lamb finished off a three-point play for a 28-24 cushion. Mathews scored 4 points in a 0-6 spurt as Besiktas regained control. Free throws by Ugurlu and Kerem Onan made it 30-35. A tough score by Ugurlu extended the margin to 32-39 at halftime.

A three-pointer by Conor Morgan gave Besiktas a 10-point lead and Derek Needham's first points of the game made it 34-46. A timeout changed little for the hosts as Martin and Arslan kept Besiktas cruising as 35-53. Martin’s next three-pointer made it a 20-point game. Free throws by Eigirdas Zukauskas were not enough to spark a comeback and Besiktas was sitting pretty at 42-60 through three quarters.  

Ellis started to heat up for Trento, making the team’s first three of the night after 18 misses. Even so, Besiktas was able to match almost every shot. Zukauskas kept fighting for Trento, but to no avail. The Besiktas lead peaked at 54-78 on a Needham free throw with 2 and a half minutes remaining as the visitors closed out a comfortable win.

The visitors led by as many as 24 in the fourth quarter
