Zalgiris secured their third straight victory with an impressive 98-70 win over Bayern Munich. French point guard Sylvain Francisco was the star of the show, delivering a fantastic performance on a very special day for him and his family.
The main takeaway from the first three games is Zalgiris’s unexpected perfect record. As the only undefeated team remaining, they have established themselves as a strong contender early in the season. Francisco’s excellent play has been a key reason for their success.
🎂 A Heartwarming Birthday Celebration
It was a memorable night for Sylvain Francisco, who revealed after the match that it was his birthday. He also shared that his mother and aunt have the same birthday. He took a moment to send them a special message: “I just also want to say happy birthday to my mom because it’s my mom’s birthday, too. Happy birthday, Mom, I love you! And my aunt at the same time.”
🏀 Leading the Charge
Francisco was instrumental in the team’s dominant performance. The French national team player put up an impressive 19 points and provided 7 assists, controlling the pace of the game and leading his team to a comfortable victory in Munich. His strong play set the tone for Zalgiris from the start.
🚀 An Undefeated Start
With three wins in three games, Zalgiris is now the only team in the league with a perfect record. Not many would have predicted such a strong start for the Lithuanian champions. Their next game will be another tough test as they travel to face Crvena Zvezda, a team that recently defeated the defending champions, Fenerbahçe.
