March 24, 2018 - Semifinals, Game 2 MVP: Scottie Wilbekin, Darussafaka Istanbul
Darussafaka
Istanbul made it to the 7DAYS EuroCup Finals for the first time in club
history as superstar guard Scottie Wilbekin earned the MVP honor for
semifinals Game 2 on Friday with a one-of-kind performance. Wilbekin's
41 points and 10 three-pointers set competition records for
non-overtime games. He added 5 assists and 2 steals for a PIR of 44,
the third-best in semifinals history. Most important, Wilbekin's
efforts led Darussafaka to an 83-87 road win that was good enough to
sweep FC Bayern Munich in their best-of-three semifinal series. Between
points and assists, Wilbekin accounted for 48 of Darussafaka's 87
points. Mardy Collins of still-undefeated Lokomotiv Kuban Krasnodar
reached a season-high PIR of 31 in his team's win against Grissin Bon
Reggio Emilia. Collins had a season-high 22 points on 9-of-12
two-points shots, adding 8 rebounds, 3 assists, a steal and 7 fouls
drawn. His teammate Frank Elegar had 19 points on 8-of-9 two-point
shots, 9 rebounds and 2 blocks for a PIR of 25. Read more here.

performance index rating of 30, which was 10 times his PIR total in the
Darussafaka’s two quarterfinal games. It was also the third
double-double in his two EuroCup seasons. Eric’s 6 offensive boards
matched the second most in a semis game this decade. Eric's teammate
Scottie Wilbekin had the second highest PIR of the opening night with
23, which included 24 points, 7 assists and 8 fouls drawn. Completing
the top individual performances for Game 1, three players tied with a
PIR of 20 each: Frank Elegar of Lokomotiv Kuban Krasnodar, Jared
