Arturas Gudaitisset against Khimki his new career-high in rebounds with 13. He had 11 once last season when Olimpia defeated Barcelona at home. His double 13 was aldo his foruth EuroLeague double double. Last season he had 19 and 10 twice, against Olympiacos and in Kaunas, he had 18 and 10 against Panathinaikos. This season he has a four-game streak of games in double digits as far as scoring, the longest of his career. Now he has more than 300 rebounds for his career and more than 500 points. Besides being ninth in index rating, Gudaitis is also first in the EuroLeague in free throws earned and made. All those stuff after getting out of the game in the last two minutes with a deep cut in the head that honestly looked badder than it really was.
Gudaitis was not the only Lithuanian to have an impact on the Khimki game. Mindaugas Kuzminskas was crucial down the stretch when he made the step back three to break the team’s slump in the fourth and later he had a tip-in that corrected a Mike James’ miss and regained the lead for Milan late in the game.
