De Colo beats the first-half buzzer! Motorola Magic Moment
Wembanyama forced Zalgiris to take a lot of shots away from the rim, too. The hosts pulled the trigger from downtown 28 times, hitting just 10 of those. Zalgiris's three-point shooting percentage (35.7%) was slightly higher than its season average of 34.9%.
On the other hand, ASVEL buried 6 of 10 three-point shots for a season-high percentage of 60%. Its physicality allowed head coach TJ Parker's team to go to the foul line more often, too. ASVEL hit 14 of 18 free throw attempts (77.8%) and Zalgiris only downed 4 of 7 foul shots (57.1%).
