The report cards. Smith is back. Uglietti: a decisive dive. Cheatham reverses the course of the match

Jaylen BARFORD (31 minutes, 2/6 2-pointers, 1/4 3-pointers, 1/2 free throws, 3 rebounds, 1 turnover, 1 steal, 5 assists, 8 points) He may not be the most talented American seen in Reggio, but when he plays these games we like him a lot. He doesn't get demoralized when the shot doesn't reward him and he puts himself at the service of the group with lucidity and defensive solidity. Rating 6.5

Cassius WINSTON (22 minutes, 2/4 2-pointers, 1/4 3-pointers, 4/7 free throws, 1 rebound, 7 turnovers, 5 assists, 11 points) He's not at his best when he returns, and he's much more of a burden than a blessing, with a ton of turnovers. But he's fundamental in overtime. Rating 6.5

Mouhamed FAYE (21 minutes, 4/7 2-pointers, 0/1 free throws, 8 rebounds, 1 turnover, 2 blocks, 8 points) Under the boards, in addition to grabbing rebounds, he intimidates from start to finish and dirty many balls. Solid and mature performance. Rating 7

Stephane GOMBAULD (19 minutes, 2/3 2-pointers, 2/3 3-pointers, 5 rebounds, 1 steal, 1 assist, 1 block, 10 points) He was extremely useful in the first half of the game, when Reggio struggled to find the end of the game. Rating 6.5

Jamar SMITH (26 minutes, 4/6 2-pointers, 2/6 3-pointers, 2 rebounds, 1 turnover, 1 steal, 1 assist, 14 points) The "surgeon" is back. He throws the opposing defense into disarray, scores key baskets, especially the "bomb" at the end of regulation time that gives his team back inertia. A weighty leadership in a very important game. Rating 7.5

Lorenzo UGLIETTI (23 minutes, 0/3 3-pointers, 2/2 free throws, 3 rebounds, 2 turnovers, 2 steals, 5 assists, 2 points) There are plays that are worth a match. His defensive dive to contest a ball that is worth the throw-in in favor of Reggio, with 10 seconds left, is one of these. Already the author of a high-level performance, he ennobles it with the action that effectively gives the victory to his team. Rating 7,5

Kenneth FARIED (24 minutes, 4/7 2-pointers, 2/4 free throws, 8 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 block, 10 points) Monumental in defense, often messes up in attack, and misses two bloody free throws. He is still very useful. Rating 6.5

Sasha GRANT (20 minutes, 0/2 2-pointers, 2/3 3-pointers, 2/2 free throws, 2 rebounds, 1 turnover, 3 assists, 6 points) His performances are often carbon-copy. And when good choices and defensive determination prevail over errors and omissions, he deserves a positive evaluation. Rating 6

Matthew CHILLO (2 minutes, 2/2 2-pointers, free throws, 2 points) NG

Kwan CHEATHAM (37 minutes, 4/4 2-pointers, 3/9 3-pointers, 3/4 free throws, 7 rebounds, 1 turnover, 1 steal, 1 assist, 20 points) In the third quarter he reverses the course of the match, bringing it towards Reggio, he drops in the following minutes but scores the 2/2 from the free throw line that in the end secures the victory. And in a game where Reggio, from the free throw line, misses a lot, it is worth half a point more. Vote 8
