Week 20 was completed with five games taking place in the VTB League. CSKA Moscow had a starring role once again this week with a huge victory on the road, while teams like Kalev saved up lots of surprises in the battle of the playoffs.
Let’s get into more detail about this past week’s action:
MVP
Sergio Rodriguez, CSKA Moscow
As CSKA stormed past Zielona Gora, Rodriguez shined for the team with his 21-point performance. The Spanish star shot on 7-8 FG, while he also had eight assists and one rebound for a total PIR of 30, the highest of any other player this week. Along with his impact in CSKA in the past few weeks, and the team’s course in the league, he’s rightfully named our weekly MVP. One thing is for certain, you can trust in Rodriguez at any time.
CSKA dominates Zielona Gora
The Army Team got the job done on the road while visiting Poland on Monday as El Chacho and Will Clyburn (18 p.) stepped up for Dimitris Itoudis’ team, with the former earning our MVP honor. CSKA remains first in the standings with an 18-3 record and has no fear as UNICS follows far behind with 14-4.
