It is the last week of Turkish Airlines Euroleague Top 16 action as teams continue make their final push in order to reach Championship glory. Here are the top performers from Thursday night's action starting with the Game of the Week where Olympiaco's Kostas Papanikolau earned Player of the Game honors.
As it was the case last week, the Spanish would once again steal the show as Spain's team would garner a bulk of the awards starting with the Assist of the Night going to FC Barcelona's Victor Sada for the impressive lob pass from the three point line.
Real Madrid's Rudy Fernandez would take home the Play of the night for catching this great alley-oop pass for the powerful one handed finish.
And Caja Laboral's Andres Nocioni earned the Block of the Night for this amazingly athletic rejection.
Spain would not hog all of the spotlight, however, as CSKA Moscow picked up what was left on Thursday's Honor Roll. Sasha Kaun would dazzle onlookers with the impressive two handed slam earning him the Dunk of the Night . . .
while Viktor Khryapa earned Thurday's Nightly Notable for his play down the stretch that led CSKA for the win. The Russian forward led the way for his side at Athens by scoring 13 points, plus 7 rebounds and 6 assists.
