Printezis the natural MVP

Coming off a three-game losing streak and hosting the group leader, Olympiacos Piraeus needed inspired play on Friday and got more than enough from a familiar source, Georgios Printezis, the MVP for Top 16 Round 6.

The veteran forward and two-time champion stepped up with the biggest offensive performance of his 187-game Euroleague career to help the Reds right their ship with a 89-77 victory over dangerous Khimki Moscow Region.

To his usual array of two-point shots, of which he made 9 of 13, Printezis added 3-for-5 accuracy from the three-point arc and made his 3 free throw attempts to score 30 points, several more than his previous best in the Euroleague. His 3 triples matched his second-best total in Euroleague play, as did his 9 rebounds, too. And with an assist and 6 fouls drawn, Printezis amassed a 37 performance index rating, best among Euroleague players this week, and another personal high in his 10th full Euroleague season
