Khimki and CSKA Moscow may be done with their EuroLeague games (the latter at least for a week), though the VTB League battle is still on and a double-game week awaited the reigning champions at the end of the regular season in Europe. Both teams rose up to the occasion, grabbing respective victories. At the same time, victory-hungry Unics did its best to keep its opponents at bay paced by a superb performance by this week’s star, Errick McCollum.
Let’s dive in.
MVP
Errick McCollum, Unics
The Kazan side was victorious on the road against Kalev, thanks to a star-like performance by McCollum. The 31-year-old combo guard posted a game-high performance of 33 points on a nearly perfect 12/13 FG shooting! As if that wasn’t enough, he was 100% accurate from the three-point line, with all five of his attempts finding the net. Add three rebounds and two assists to his offensive festival for a total PIR of 35 and there you have our MVP of the past week.
