Campazzo's heroics came up short
Facundo Campazzo turned from hero to villain in Round 11. The Argentine wizard kept Real Madrid alive and gave the reigning champion a shot at beating Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul, only to then commit a late, late turnover that allowed Yam Madar to win an overtime thriller. Nevertheless, his personal-best 33 points are what gave Los Blancos a chance to secure the victory in the first place, with Campazzo having gone a perfect 11-of-11 from two-point territory. That efficiency from inside the arc is tied for the best-ever shooting performance on two-pointers, with Ante Tomic and Gustavo Ayon having previously achieved this feat in the 2015-16 and 2018-19 seasons, respectively.
Bonga did a bit of everything for Bayern
FC Bayern Munich secured an impressive 90-76 win at home to Virtus Segafredo Bologna in Round 11, with Isaac Bonga playing an important role in the triumph. Now in his second season in the EuroLeague, the 24-year-old posted 10 points and 8 rebounds, including 5 on the offensive end, as well as 3 assists and 2 blocks in Thursday night’s win. He racked up those numbers in just 22:21 minutes on the court, where he was +13 in the plus/minus column. Bonga is showing impressive growth in Year Two under new head coach Pablo Laso, and his all-round performance against Virtus is evidence of his crucial role for the German club.
Andjusic's silent contribution for Partizan
Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade rallied late before fighting off Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens for a 92-87 overtime win. At first glance, Danilo Andjusic was not among the main protagonists – that was saved for Kevin Punter, Zach LeDay, P.J. Dozier and Bruno Caboclo. Instead, Andjusic finished the game with just 2 points, making 1 of his 4 shots from the floor. However, he pulled down a team-high and a career-high 8 rebounds, including a key offensive board in overtime which led to his reverse layup for his only points of the game. And even though he did not have a single assist or steal in his 25 minutes on the floor, Andjusic had +25 in the plus/minus column, the second-highest by any Partizan player this season, earning unprompted praise from head coach Zeljko Obradovic: "Look at Andjusic, 2 points and we were +25 with him on the floor. He did not make the shots? So what? He grabbed a rebound when it was the most important."
Laprovittola set a Barcelona club record
Nicolas Laprovittola had a career night on Friday in FC Barcelona's 101-92 win over LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne. Laprovittola was unstoppable from long range, making a career-high 8 three-pointers on 10 attempts. What’s more, Laprovittola became the first Barcelona player this century to make 8 triples in a game, beating the previous club record of 7, which was shared between Kyle Kuric and Gianluca Basile. What made the night even more impressive was the second half, during which Laprovittola attempted 6 triples and made all 6. He finished the game tying a career-best 28 points and also dished 9 assists. Barcelona outscored ASVEL by 28 points when Laprovittola was on the floor in what was a very memorable night for the Argentine guard.
Zvezda's Yago took another big step forward
In his rookie EuroLeague season, Yago Dos Santos continued to show what he is capable of with another impressive display in Round 11 as Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade defeated Anadolu Efes Istanbul, 97-83. The Brazilian point guard knocked down a couple of three-pointers in the first quarter in an offense-focused start to the game, before going on to finish with a career-best 15 points. He also matched his personal-best marks in rebounds (4) and assists (5). Yago is just eight games into his EuroLeague career, but he’s shown under new head coach Ioannis Sfairopoulos that he has what it takes to make a big impact at this level,
