Anadolu Efes Istanbul Secure Comfortable Away Victory Over Žalgiris Kaunas

Anadolu Efes Istanbul defeated Žalgiris Kaunas 85–70 in their EuroLeague fixture on Friday, 16 October 2026. Both teams arrived at the match with identical recent form, having won three and lost two of their previous five games. However, the result highlighted the disparity in their current league positions, with Žalgiris sitting in 13th place and Anadolu Efes in 18th, both having played five matches.

The result changed nothing in the standings, as points have not yet been awarded. Žalgiris Kaunas moved to the 13th position with a record of two wins and three losses. Anadolu Efes Istanbul remained in 18th place, extending their losing streak to four games across the competition. Despite the lower ranking, the Istanbul side secured their second victory over Žalgiris in the current season, following a 92–82 win earlier in February.

Anadolu Efes controlled the tempo through superior efficiency outside the arc and at the free-throw line. Over their last ten matches, the visitors averaged 8.0 made three-pointers compared to Žalgiris’s 10.3, but they converted their opportunities decisively to build a lead. Anadolu Efes also outperformed the hosts in free throws, averaging 17.0 made shots against 15.1 for the Lithuanian side.

This defeat continued a difficult run for Žalgiris Kaunas, who had previously beaten Barcelona in a high-scoring away game but struggled defensively against Fenerbahce. The loss to Anadolu Efes brought Žalgiris’s total points conceded in the last five games to 409, while they scored 415. Anadolu Efes, meanwhile, maintained their offensive output, scoring 414 points in their last five fixtures. The result means both teams remain in the lower half of the table, but the psychological blow of an 85–70 loss away from home will be more acute for the hosts.
