Magic Moment: Palmer blocks it and then dunks!
Ellis has been worth 8.9 points, 6.1 rebounds and 1.7 blocks for Turk Telekom this season. He has blocked multiple shots in five games this far, including a 3-block effort against Slask in Round 3. Ellis keeps his shot taking close to the basket, which accounts for his impressive 73.2% shooting rate from the field. The battle between these two hard-working bigs in the paint could dictate the outcome of this game.
