The Ioannis Bourousis revival continued Thursday as the Laboral Kutxa Vitoria Gasteiz center led his team to a resounding victory in the Game of the Week, collected his 10th double-double and recorded weekly MVP honors for the third time this season.
Bourousis starred in the 98-83 victory over Khimki Moscow Region with 16 points, 13 rebounds and 6 assists for a performance index rating of 29, which was the most of any Turkish Airlines Euroleague player on a winning team for Round 10 of the Top 16. He made 5 of 8 two-pointers and 2 of 4 shots from downtown in 30 minutes of action. At age 32, Bourousis, who helped Real Madrid win the Euroleague crown last season, is posting the best numbers of his career with 14.4 points, a league-high 9.5 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game. This marks the sixth time that Bourousis has been the weekly MVP in his 14-season Euroleague career.
