CAI Zaragoza never trailed, crushing Lietuvos Rytas 94-60 on Tuesday, and picking up its first win of the Last 32. Both teams now hold 1-2 record in Group P, and could be in a share of the third place if Cedevita Zagreb loses against Panionios Athens on Wednesday. Zaragoza used an early 12-2 run to build 39-19 lead midway through the second quarter, and cruised to victory in the second half. Michael Roll paces Zaragoza with 23 points on 5 of 5 from downtown, and Joseph Jones had 12 points plus 8 rebounds. Damjan Rudez and Giorgi Shermadini each scored 11, and Pere Tomas had 10 in victory. Juan Palacio led Lietuvos Rytas with 17 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists. Darius Songaila scored 12, and Renaldas Seibutis 11 in defeat.

Roll hit a three-pointer and Shermadini had a basket-plus-foul to spark a 12-2 run for 14-4 lead. Palacios and Stevan Jelovac got the visitors going, and Martynas Gecevicius sank a triple, but Roll nailed another three for the hosts and Rudez hit a pair of shots from downtown for 27-15 after 10 minutes. Viktor Sanikidze and Henk Norel kept the pace for Zaragoza in the second. Tomas added a triple, and Roll ended a 12-4 spurt with a layup for 39-19. Palacios and Songaila scored from close range for Rytas, and Omar Cook scored on a fast break, but put-backs from Joseph Jones and Tomas helped the hosts to 50-31 halftime advantage. Songaila hit a pair of jumpers in the third quarter, but Zaragoza did not move its foot from the gas. Shermadini scored a dunk and a put-back, stringing 6 points, and Roll hit his fourth triple for 63-37. Songaila continued to be the only Rytas’ offensive threat, but Jon Stefansson hit couple of triples, and Shermadini finished the quarter with a put-back dunk for 77-45. With game clearly out of reach, Renaldas Seibutis scored 6 points at the start of the fourth for the visitors, but Pedro Llompart and Rudez hit from behind the arc to keep the margin at 87-55. Before game’s end, Roll hit his fifth triple in as many attempts, and Llompart rounded out the scoring from downtown.

Head Coaches

ABOS, JOSE LUIS

CAI Zaragoza

"I think the key was the start. I think we played good defense on their shooters while in offense we always looked for the weak spot of Rytas. I think we managed to create game for everyone. The 27 points of the first quarter set the pace for us. We managed to run in transition and fastbreak, and that gave us a lot for this game. In the third quarter we managed to maintain the lead and even increase it. I want to congratulate my players for the good job."

PETROVIC, ALEKSANDAR

Lietuvos Rytas Vilnius

"We have been travelling for 9 days. Have played 4 games in 8 days and it's true that we didn't have the necessary energy to face this kind of game against a team that was in a do-or-die situation to continue in the Eurocup. The figures in rebounds speak for themselves for instance. We didn't shoot very accurately either. We depend on our outside shooters a lot, and when the shots don't go in, there is no game at all for us. We play against Zaragoza again next week and we hope to face that game a lot fresher and with more energy. I think the game will be different. Talking about this game now doesn't make any sense because it was a game for Zaragoza only."

"Every day I am just shooting, playing, working out extra hard, trying to get back to form as soon as possible. Today was a good day, but it is over with and I get back to work tomorrow."

COOK, OMAR

Lietuvos Rytas Vilnius

"They played good, we played bad. We had no energy offensivelly or defensivelly, they played much better than us. We played 4 games in 8 days, but in an importan game like this you cannot use it as an exuse. To win next week we have to play better on our home court."
