UNICS Kazan relies on its floor general Lorenzo Brown to make the difference in its Round 16 showdown against Zalgiris Kaunas.
Marquee matchup: UNICS's Brown vs. Zalgiris's Strelnieks
Article
4 Mins read
Brown has been truly unstoppable in the last five games, averaging 17.4 points, 4.2 rebounds and 5.4 assists for a PIR average of 22.4. He has been perfect at the foul line (11-for-11) and really effective inside the arc (29-for-46, 63.0% 2FG). Brown will try to use all his know-how and athleticism against Janis Strelnieks, who is Zalgiris's top scorer at 9.3 points per night. Strelnieks had 22 points on 5-for-7 three-point shooting in an overtime Round 15 loss to AS Monaco and will be ready to lead a Zalgiris team seeking its first road win since last January 27 in Valencia, Spain.
