The report cards. Cordinier, he too is out of gas

Belinelli does what he can. Polonara, another anonymous game. Diouf, good at rebounding. Tucker could have played more.

Cordinier 5 (in 21' 0/1 from two, 0/2 from three, 1/2 from free throws, one rebound, one turnover, 3 assists) You can't say he didn't try, but without gas in the tank you can't get very far.

Benelli 6 (in 25' 2/2 free throws, 3/8 three-pointers, one rebound, one turnover) The team relies on him in the final minutes and does well, even if he is only partially present.

Pajola 6.5 (in 30' 3/4 from two, 2/5 from three, 3 rebounds, 5 turnovers, one steal, 9 assists) Lots of good things both when it comes to taking responsibility for a shot, and when he directs the team. Although it is his trademark, this time the defense worked less.

Shengelia 6 (in 28' 2/4 from two, 1/2 from three, 5 rebounds, one steal, 8 assists) He has the ability to put things in order and whoever is on the court with him gains confidence when he finds himself next to them.

Thank you 5 (in 12' 1/2 three-pointers, 1/2 three-pointers, one rebound, one steal) When he is exhausted, what seem to be his limitations up to now appear: a player who struggles to stay within the system and who tends to play for himself.

Morgan 6 (in 26' 2/2 from two, 1/4 from three, one rebound, one assist) He scores with a certain consistency, but is soft on defense.

Polonara 5 (in 8' 0/2 from three, one rebound) Another day for the big man from the Marche who has no half measures. Either he is not seen or he does things bordering on perfection. This time he was not seen.

Diouf 6.5 (in 24' 6/7 from two, 9 rebounds, 2 turnovers, one assist) He was naive in some situations, but overall he was the only one who was truly present on the rebound.

Akele sv (in 4' 0/1 from three, one rebound).

tucker 6.5 (in 22' 3/5 from two, 1/3 from three, 4/4 from free throws, one rebound, one turnover) The absences of Clyburn and Hackett open up some space for him and he tries to take it all, so much so that Ivanovic can only be criticized for having thrown him into the fray too late in the second half.
