The report cards. Barford, winning growl. Grant enters and gives gas. Winston gives doses of talent and beauty

Jaylen BARFORD (24 minutes, 2/5 2-pointers, 3/10 3-pointers, 2/2 TL, 1 pr, 2 assists, 15 points) He starts off shooting, then takes over in the final quarter and scores the two triples that dig the furrow. In defense he is a guarantee and it is known, but he should never be taken for granted, because there are few guards who growl like that around. Rating 7.

Cassius WINSTON (27 minutes, 3/8 2-pointers, 2/4 3-pointers, 2/2 TL, 2 rebounds, 5 assists, 1p.p., 1p.r., 14 points). A sweet here, another there. He makes the landing among the best eight in Europe sweeter with his usual dose of talent and beauty. Rating 7. Kwan CHEATHAM (20 minutes, 4/8 2-pointers, 0/4 3-pointers, 2/2 TL, 3 rebounds, 1 pp., 10 points) Mister 'soft' has an important flash in the third quarter, but also a few lapses in defense and he should be told that it is not mandatory to shoot every time you receive the ball... Rating 6,5.

Momo FAYE (22 minutes, 2/3 2-pointers, 6 rebounds, 1 assist, 3 blocks, 1 pr, 4 points) He isn't looked for much in attack, but in defense he changes the game's connotations: with him on the court you can't get through. Three certified blocks and at least as many 'near misses'. A wall. Rating 7.

Lorenzo UGLIETTI (14 minutes, 0/1 2-pointers, 1/2 free throws, 3 assists, 1 point). As always, he leads the way in the 'useful things that don't end up on the scoresheet' category. Nothing spectacular, but he makes himself useful. Rating 6.

Jamar SMITH (19 minutes, 2/4 2-pointers, 2/2 3-pointers, 2/2 TL, 1 reb., 1p.r., assist, 12 points). He opens the gas in the second quarter when he scores 7 points in a row, makes an important 7-pointer in the second half and pushes himself on defense. A performance close to his levels of excellence. Rating XNUMX

Stephane GOMBAULD (17 minutes, 1/4 2-pointers, 7 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 pp, 2 points) A few lapses in attack, but he gives it his all in defense. Rating 6

Michele VITALI (24 minutes, 1/3 3-pointers, 3/3 TL, 3 rebounds, 4 pp, 1 rec., 6 points) Starts in the quintet and works hard on defense. He squeezes out six points on offense, but 4 turnovers are too many even if to tell the truth the referees take aim at him a bit. Rating 6 Kenneth FARIED (18 minutes, 3/4 2-pointers, 0/1 TL, 8 rebounds, 1 rec., 6 points) Last night he didn't need to use special effects, but his presence in the paint was still felt. Eight rebounds 'sucked up' like grains of dust. Rating 6.5

Matteo CHILLO (2 minutes, 0/1 from 2, 1 rebound) Priftis gives him two minutes, he doesn't reciprocate because he misses a basket already made NG

Sasha GRANT (13 minutes, 1/2 2-pointers, 1/2 3-pointers, 2/2 TL, 2 rebounds, 7 points) Comes off the bench and shows up with a triple and an alley-oop that reverse the inertia of the first quarter. Has a significant impact on the match, deserved more minutes on the court. Rating 7
