Bramos and Larson shared performance index ratings of 28, the highest among all winning players this round. Bramos paced Reyer to a 73-80 road win at Tofas Bursa that was good for a Top 16 ticket. He scored a career-high 28 points in his fourth EuroCup season, making 11 of 15 field goal attempts. Larson led Oldenburg to a 108-88 home win against Trento and into the Top 16. His 31 points and the team’s 108 were both Oldenburg club records. Larson also added 5 boards, 3 assists and 1 steal to his great performance. Two players had higher PIRs this round but were not eligible for the MVP honor since their teams lost. Klemen Prepelic of Joventut Badalona had a career-high PIR of 35 while James Blackmon of Dolomiti Energia Trento came next with a 29 PIR. Completing the top five individual performances of the week was Alex Hamilton of Maccabi Rishon LeZion (26).
