Errick McCollum sets sights for the MVP of Round 4 honor after a stunning 32-point performance that led Unics to an 86-74 win against Joventut Badalona.
McCollum exited the game with a PIR of 41 (10/16 FG, four rebounds, four assists and three steals), while Unics moved up to a 3-1 record in Group C standings.
Badalona’s Klemen Prepelic and Alen Omic tried to save the day for the visiting squad with 22 and 20 points each, though McCollum and Unics were simply unstoppable, leading with a double-digit mark for most of the game.
Meanwhile, the game between Germani Brescia Leonessa and Darussafaka marked a negative record in EuroCup history as the latter prevailed 61-35, in an all-time low sum of points in the competition. Last time such a score occurred in EuroCup marks back in 2008 in the game between Bilbao and Nymburk (46-52).
Nanterre 93 defeated Cedevita Olimpija Ljubljana on the road 93-87 to grab its second victory of the season, paced by a 25-point performance by Dallas Moore.
