report cards:
Olympiakos
WALKUP: 6 – Excellent first half on both sides of the field, then in the second he is no longer able to express himself at his best.
CANAAN: 5 – He opens the game with a 2/2 from the arc and gives the impression of being able to replicate game 1, but it’s just a blunder, his offensive production stops there. No other shots attempted during the course of the match.
LOUNTZIS: NE
LARENTZAKIS: 5 – No contribution from him, 0 points in 10 minutes on the parquet.
FALL: 5.5 – He tries several times, but the Turkish big men make it difficult even just to receive the ball. He still collects 9 rebounds.
SLOUKAS: 7 – The best for Olympiacos, he tries to take the team on his shoulders with a series of excellent plays in the final, but he too has to surrender to Vader.
VEZENKOV: 6.5 – Error on the bloody triple final, he plays a game of ups and downs, but still scores 18 points.
PAPANIKOLAOU: 5.5 – Very nervous even with his teammates, but he too makes a series of gratuitous mistakes.
BOLOMBOY: S.V.
PETERS: 6 – He does his thing, 6 points in just over 7 minutes of use.
BLACK: SV – A nice block and little more.
MCKISSIC 5.5 – 0/2 to free throws in the final which cost his team dearly.
Fenerbahce
MOTLEY: 7.5 – In the final, he hits and scores a series of decisive baskets. The scoreboard at the end of the 40 minutes reads 15 made.
BIRSEN: SV
EDWARDS: 7.5 – He’s the offensive point of reference for Vader for most of the game. He closes with 16 points.
MAHMUTOGLU: ST
HAYES-DAVIS: 7.5 – He scores the triple from the first overtaking and then he never stops. In the endgame it’s a two-way challenge between him and Sloukas. He closes with 60% from both 2 (3/5) and 3 (3/5) and 15 scored.
PIERRE: 6 – Particularly inaccurate shooting evening (4/11 from the field), but he puts his usual energy on both sides of the field. Even 7 rebounds.
BIBEROVIC: S.V.
JEKIRI: 5.5 – Not a great impact, he opens the ball with a free kick.
GUDURIC 6.5 – It is glacial in the finale in lunette.
DORSEY 6.5 – How Guduric is managed practically with a dropper, almost 19 minutes and 8 points for him.
