The obvious priority for Efes is defensive improvement after allowing 96 points in defeat at Zalgiris, while Milan will hope the return of Nikola Mirotic will boost an offense which averages just 77.6 points per game. Mirotic netted 14 points and Shavon Shields top scored with 18 when Milan easily beat Efes, 92-76, in November. Will Clyburn paced the Turkish team with 18 points on that occasion, and he looks to be recovering his best form after also netting 18 in Wednesday's loss in Kaunas.
