The report cards. Belinelli is scary: it's not enough

Cordier 5.5 (in 22' 0/4 from two, 2/6 from three, 2/2 from free throws, 2 rebounds, one turnover, 2 steals, 3 assists) He doesn't hold up much in defense, but he shoots in attack.

Belinelli 7 (in 15' 3/9 from two, 2/3 from three, 2/3 from free throws, one turnover, one assist) The only one to get to the end with enough gas in the tank and consequently to scare Monaco.

Payola 7 (in 33' 1/2 from two, 4/7 from three, 2 rebounds, 3 turnovers, 3 steals, 4 assists) He sat through almost the entire game and inevitably had a decline at the end. In addition to marking his opponents well, he was also very dangerous in attack, all this until his legs could support him.

Shengelia 5.5 (in 24' 5/8 from two, 0/2 from three, 5/8 from free throws, 5 rebounds, 4 turnovers, 3 assists) As always happens with those returning from a long injury, his physical condition is inconsistent. On this occasion he was in a down phase despite the baskets scored.

Hackett 6.5 (in 18' 0/1 from three, 2/2 from free throws, 2 rebounds, 2 turnovers, 2 assists) The only one to cause problems for James, even making him so nervous that he earned an unsportsmanlike call.

Thank you 5 (in 16' 1/2 two-pointers, 1/1 three-pointers, 3 rebounds) Too many naivety in important moments.

Morgan 5.5 (in 22' 1/1 from two, 0/2 from three, 5/5 from free throws, one rebound, 3 assists) The game turned around compared to expectations, going better in defense than in attack. For the opponents it is no longer a surprise and now it is up to him to prove himself smart.

Polonara 5 (in 14' 0/1 from three, 2 rebounds) Impalpable performance. He is the only one who did not give a half contribution to the cause.

Diouf 6.5 (in 17' 1/4 from two, 6/8 from free throws, 6 rebounds, one turnover, one assist) He makes his presence felt by also playing in a very orderly manner.

Tucker 6.5 (in 18' 0/2 from two, 3/5 from three, 1/2 from free throws, 2 rebounds, one turnover, 3 steals, one assist) His performance confirms the work that Ivanovic is doing, not only technically. For how he directed this game, the Montenegrin coach would deserve a full 8, unfortunately, however, some of his players lacked consistency. Tucker is one of them.
