Marcus Brown regained the distinction of being the Euroleague's all-time top scorer while pouring in 28 points on Thursday as Zalgiris defeated Union Olimpija 91-72 at home in Kaunas, Lithuania.

Brown has scored a total of 2,063 points since the competition started in 2000, surpassing Luis Scola, who holds second place now with 2,054 points. Brown had been the all-time top scorer to start the 2006-07 season, but a long-term injury allowed Scola to take over first place - until Thursday.
