When it comes to facing Bayern Munich, Shane Larkin gets in a different beast mode.

Back in 2019, he recorded the record for most points scored in a game against the German side with 49; in this year’s Round 28, he scored 14 points during a decisive third-quarter offensive stretch, giving Anadolu Efes the final 109-86 victory.

Ending with a PIR of 33 in a 28-point night with 3 rebounds, 4 assists, and 4 fouls drawn, shooting 3/3 from two, 6/9 from beyond the arc, and 4/5 at the line, the American playmaker was named MVP of the Round for the 17th time in his career.

In the aftermath, he commented on the importance of this win. “We need to progress game by game for the play-in race, I told my teammates after the match. Today we both won the match and got the tiebreaker. Still, we are not in a position to relax, we have to work hard every day. We have to fight until the end to qualify for the play-in. If we can achieve this, then anything is possible”, he said.

Shane Larkin is now the player with the most EuroLeague MVPs of the Round in the history of the competition, overcoming Nando De Colo at 16. Mike James follows in 3rd position at 11.
