Player of the Game EFF 39 Keenan Evans Points 32 Accuracy 11-15 Rebounds 4 Assists 4

Evans scored 21 points on 8-for-10 shooting, grabbed 2 rebounds, dished out 2 assists, made 2 steals, and drew 2 fouls for a total PIR of 26.

Per Darius Garuolis, it was the best-scoring personal first half in Zalgiris' history since such data has been available.

Previously, the record belonged to the current team captain Edgaras Ulanovas who had scored 20 points in the first half of Round 9 during the 2017-18 season. Marcus Brown is now third with his 18-point first-half performance 15 years ago (2007-08).

After coming from Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv, Keenan Evans has been an undisputed leader of the Lithuanian team, averaging 15.6 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 3.9 assists for 16.5 PIR.

To set an all-time club scoring record, Evans will need to score 16 more points to overtake Justin Dentmon's 36-point game in 2013-14.
