BELGRADE, Jan 15 (Reuters) - Euroleague holders Real Madrid ground out a 92-86 home win over former winners Zalgiris Kaunas as veteran centre Felipe Reyes rolled back the years on Friday.
In the day's other top fixtures, Germans Brose Baskets Bamberg stunned triple former winners Olympiakos Piraeus 77-72 and Khimki Moscow eased to a 76-68 home victory over Spaniards Laboral Kutxa Vitoria.
The 35-year-old Reyes racked up 24 points and six rebounds as Real overpowered a battling Zalgiris whose former trophy-laden guard Sarunas Jasikevicius made his coaching debut.
The champions never looked back after racing into a 10-2 lead but coach Pablo Laso heaped praise on the Lithuanian outfit who won the title in 1999.
