The report cards. Holiday, the 'vacation' continues

The former NBA player shoots threes. Cordinier never in the game. Zizic can't do anything right. Clyburn at least tries.

Hackett 5 (in 18' 0/1 from two, 1/3 from three, 4 rebounds, 2 block, XNUMX turnovers). He never manages to get his hands on the game.

Cordier 4 (in 11' 0/2 from three, one rebound, one assist). Starts with two fouls. Disappears from the scene. Someone like him: is it possible?

Clyburn 6 (in 27' 6/9 from two, 2/7 from three, 2/2 from free throws, 4 rebounds, one turnover, 2 steals, one assist). Lots of energy at the beginning. Some forcing. But he certainly deserves credit for trying.

Shengelia 6,5 (in 34' 11/15 from two, 0/1 from three, 3/5 from free throws, 7 rebounds, one block suffered, one turnover, 4 assists). He sings and carries the cross. At times it is almost touching. He gives up easy shots to put Zizic in the game. But Ante remains silent.

Zizic 4 (in 10' 2/3 two-pointers, 0/2 free throws, one rebound, one turnover, one assist). Missed free throws, only one rebound. Proves the coach right when he opts for quintets without role centers. Damaging.

Polonara 5 (in 26' 2/3 from two, 0/3 from three, 4 rebounds, one steal). It's a shame because Achille is a real one. But he gets lost without leaving a trace.

Holiday 4 (in 14' 0/6 from three, 3 rebounds, one block given and one suffered, one turnover). Now we have the certainty: Tucker is better than him, small consolation. He seems like someone who passed by here by chance, without confidence with the basket.

Morgan 6 (in 23' 2/3 from two, 3/6 from three, 2 rebounds, one turnover, 2 steals, one assist). Head down, just as he likes it. Maybe he pushes a little too hard. But Virtus' best moments coincide precisely with his offensive gusts.

Payola 6 (in 27' 1/3 from two, 2/5 from three, 1/1 from free throws, 4 rebounds, one block suffered, one turnover, 4 assists). He tries too. It is always captain Futuro who gives the last advantage to Virtus. Then he derails with his teammates, without finding the right verve in defense.

Akele 6 (in 10' 0/1 from three, 4 rebounds, one steal, one assist). He puts desire, energy. Maybe, as has already happened in the past, he would have deserved a few more minutes. Because he doesn't back down.
