Shane Larkin was named the EuroLeague Playoffs Game 3 MVP. The 26-year-old American point guard led Anadolu Efes to the emphatic win against FC Barcelona Lassa on the road with a 34 performance index rating, the highest among all players of Tuesday’s and Wednesday’s Game 3s. Efes took a 2-1 lead in the best-of-five series riding his second EuroLeague MVP of the Round performance.

Larkin set a new postseason personal-best with 30 points falling seven points short of his EuroLeague career-high. He was 11/12 from the field including 6/7 beyond the arc. Both his 30 points and six threes are the most from any player during the 2019 playoffs. He also tallied three rebounds, two dimes and one steal in 23:43.
