A stunning individual performance in a winning effort allowed Georgios Papagiannis of Panathinaikos OPAP Athens to earn Round 34 MVP honors with a performance index rating of 31.

Round 34 MVP: Georgios Papagiannis, Panathinaikos OPAP Athens

Papagiannis led Panathinaikos to a 59-62 road victory against Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul. He finished the game with 14 points on 6-for-8 two-point and 2-of-2 free-throw shooting, adding 12 rebounds, an assist, 3 steals and 4 blocks to amass a PIR of 31.

Jan Vesely of Fenerbahce and David Lighty of LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne followed with PIRs of 29 each, but neither of their teams could win in Round 34. Vesely had 20 points, 7 rebounds, 2 blocks and 8 fouls drawn against Panathinaikos. Lighty had 28 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists and 5 fouls drawn in his team's 80-81 home loss against AX Armani Exchange Milan. Ognjen Jaramaz of FC Bayern Munich, with a PIR of 28, and Shane Larkin of Anadolu Efes Istanbul, who amassed a PIR of 27, completed the top individual performances in Round 34.

Georgios Papagiannis of Panathinaikos OPAP Athens led or shared the Round 34 lead in rebounds, blocks and steals.

Round 34 individual highs: Papagiannis, Panathinaikos, 12 rebounds and 4 blocks 

David Lighty of LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne led Round 34 in scoring with 28 points in his team's 80-81 home loss against AX Armani Exchange Milan. Vasilije Micic of Anadolu Efes Istanbul finished the regular season as scoring king at 18.1 points per game. Papagiannis led all rebounders by pulling down 12 against Fenerbahce Beko Istambul. He also had 4 blocks to lead the weekly standings. Papagiannis finished his campaign ranking first in both rebounds (8.2 rpg.) and blocks (1.7 bpg.) at the end of the regular season. Nick Calathes of FC Barcelona dished 9 assists, more than anybody else in this round. Calathes was also first at the end of the regular season with 6.09 per game, beating Lorenzo Brown of UNICS Kazan (6.08 apg.) by the narrowest margin. Papagiannis, his Panathinaikos teammate Leonidas Kaselakis, Chris Jones of ASVEL, Pierria Henry of Fenerbahce, and Austin Hollins of Crvena Zvezda mts Belgrade each collected 3 steals in this round. John Brown of UNICS is the runaway steals leader at 2.8 per night. Papagiannis – 14 points, 12 rebounds – and Nikola Kalinic of Zvezda – 16 points, 10 rebounds – posted the only double-doubles in Round 34. Papagiannis also led the regular season in double-doubles with 8.

Pairings are already set for two of the four best-of-five series. FC Barcelona, which finished first in the regular season, will face off against eighth-placed FC Bayern Munich, while regular season runner-up Olympiacos Piraeus will battle against seventh-placed AS Monaco, a playoffs debutant.

The rest of the playoff field consists of third-place AX Armani Exchange Milan, fourth-place Real Madrid, the defending champion Anadolu Efes Istanbul and Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv. The exact parings between those four teams won't be determined until Wednesday, April 13, after the final regular season game, in which Maccabi hosts already-eliminated Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul in a rescheduled Round 23 contest. 


The playoffs action gets underway at Mediolanum Forum in Italy at 19:00 CEST on Tuesday, April 19, when Milan will host whichever team between Maccabi and Efes ends up in sixth place. Later on Tuesday, top-seeded FC Barcelona hosts FC Bayern Munich for the start of their series at 21:00 CEST.

The next night's first fixture will be Game 1 of the series between Olympiacos and Monaco, which will tip off at 20:00 CEST. The slate of Game 1s will finish later on Wednesday in the Spanish capital, where Real will welcome the fifth-place finisher, either Efes or Maccabi. That game will tip off at 20:45 CEST.

The same four teams will play host for Game 2s in each series roughly 48 hours later. Barcelona and Bayern will square off on Thursday at 20:00 CEST, and 45 minutes later Milan will take on Efes or Maccabi. On Friday, Olympiacos vs. Monaco will tip off at 18:00 CEST, while Real will play Efes or Maccabi at 20:45 CEST.

The decision on the fifth and sixth places in the standings has come down to the final game of the season. If Maccabi wins its rescheduled Round 23 game, it will finish fifth and play against Real, while Milan would pair up with Efes. Should Maccabi lose that final regular-season game, then Milan would face Maccabi, while Real would go against Efes.

A week later, the action shifts to the home floors of the teams that finished lower in the regular season standings, for Game 3, and potentially, Game 4.

The Road to Belgrade and the crowning of a continental champion will switch into an even higher gear when the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague Playoffs begin on Tuesday, April 19, and Wednesday, April 20. 

Turkish Airlines EuroLeague Playoffs calendar

Crvena Zvezda mts Belgrade used a late surge to run past Anadolu Efes Istanbul to victory in Round 34. Nikola Kalinic and Nate Wolters made the difference in crunch time.

Zvezda's late heroics pay off

Zvezda, which had been eliminated from the playoffs already, trailed 74-80 late in the fourth quarter, but managed to stay alive in the most critical moments. Ognjen Dobric buried a critical three-pointer, then Luka Mitrovic followed a three-point play with a layup that tied the game, 82-82, with 3 minutes remaining. Shane Larkin drew a foul and calmly made free throws to give Efes an 82-84 lead. Zvezda improved its defense in the final 2 minutes and looked for its most experienced players in crunch time. Wolters and Kalinic were ready to deliver.

Kalinic Wolters make the difference

Wolters tied the game with his trademark floater and then Kalinic shifted the game's momentum with arguably the most important play of the night. He pulled down a rebound, raced downcourt and dunked at the other end, drawing a foul to complete a three-point play. Efes struggled when it matter most and Zvezda kept attacking the rim. Wolters and Kalinic took over with consecutive layups to seal the outcome, 91-85.

The hosts finished the game with an 11-1 run to get a 93-85 victory. Kalinic finished the game with 16 points, 10 rebounds and 8 assists. Nate Wolters had 15 points and 3 assists. Both of them made the difference, letting Zvezda fans enjoy one final win to the 2021-22 EuroLeague season.

Bayern went into the game knowing that it was locked into a quarterfinals showdown with FC Barcelona, and in the first half, it had watched Real light it up from long range. That didn't stop Jaramaz and Thomas from stepping up.

In the first 25 minutes of the game, the duo had combined for just 5 points as Bayern fell behind by 61-46. Jaramaz picked up 8 points over the rest of the third quarter and Thomas added 2, but the visitors still trailed 75-59 after 30 minutes.

Thomas scored 4 points in Bayern's 0-9 run to start the final quarter before hitting a three-pointer in helping get the deficit down to 80-78. The duo finished off the comeback with back-to-back three-pointers to take a 82-84 lead. Then, each added another basket as the advantage grew to 82-88. Jaramaz picked up 3 more free throws and finished the game with a team-high 19 points while Thomas ended with 16 points.

“You never know what you can do until you do it.”

"This is a great way to finish the regular season. Every game is important for us. We wanted to show that we are ready for the playoffs," Jaramaz said.

Thomas added: "It's one of those games that we don't give up. We fought. Guys stepped up big; everybody did. That's going to lead to Barca, knowing that we are going to go out there and fight and compete."

Bayern head coach Andrea Trinchieri was happy for the confidence boost his team got through the win.

"This game doesn't give us anything for the standings, but it gives us a great push in self-confidence because you never know what you can do until you do it," he said. "Now we've done it against a great team."

FC Bayern Munich came back from the dead and surprised Real Madrid with an 88-97 road victory as Ognjen Jaramaz and Deshaun Thomas helped the team rally from 20 points down to build confidence for the up-coming playoffs.

Real drained 13 triples in the first half to make league history, besting the 12 first half three-pointers made by Olympiacos earlier this season and by CKSA Moscow in 2014-15. And it was the second-best showing in any half behind Anadolu Efes Istanbul’s 15 three-pointers in the second half against Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv in Round 27.

Telling numbers: Real wastes record-breaking three-point output

Monaco shot the ball well from long range, making 9-of-20 triples (45.0%), and also went 25-of-45 (55.6%) inside. Even though Monaco got outrebounded (34-37), and even more so on the offensive glass (11-16), Monaco controlled the game by committing only 7 turnovers, compared to ALBA's 12. Interestingly, Monaco also had 6 steals by five different players, including 2 by Paris Lee. Those 6 steals are just 1 shy of matching the team's turnovers total, which is always an almost certain recipe for success in any basketball game. 

AS Monaco finished the regular season with a 91-74 win over visiting ALBA Berlin, and did so partly by shooting the ball well but also by barely giving ALBA any transition opportunities.

Telling numbers: Monaco shoots well, limits turnovers
