In order to win Rytas must play very well in defense to stop Khimki's stars. At the same time they must find a way keep up with their opponents' offense. It should be a close game despite the fact that Arkadios thinks otherwise.
Khimki has many great players. Meanwhile Rytas depends on three players - Eidson, Lukauskis and Petravicius. Eidson wasn't in the best shape yesterday. Lukauskis either, despite hitting a crucial shot. Petravicius got his points but if he plays that way today then Mozgov will have a blocking party. Zavackas is probably the biggest disappointment in the Final Eight for Rytas. He scored only one 3pt shot so far.
I see Khimki winning this. But it won't be an easy game.
