The tragic passing of Dejan Milojevic overshadowed the excitement of Round 22, which saw seven home wins, all by double-digit margins.

Achille Polonara played a key role for Virtus Bologna in the absence of the injured Toko Shengelia, as the Italian side rallied to defeat LDLC ASVEL 73-63 in Round 22 of the 2023-24 EuroLeague season.

The Achille Polonara feel-good story went to new heights in Round 22

Early in the fourth quarter of [Thursday’s home meeting with LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/news/euroleague-live-blog-virtus-bologna-vs-ldlc-asvel/), it’s fair to say that Virtus Segafredo Bologna was facing the most delicate moment of its season. 

Having lost its last two games badly, by margins of 17 and 24 points, it was imperative for the Italian team to get back to winning ways against the last-placed opponent, which was also struggling for confidence after a 63-88 mauling by fellow basement dwellers ALBA Berlin last time out.

But things were not going well for Virtus. A strong enough first quarter was followed by something approaching a meltdown, with Luca Banchi’s men scoring just 26 points across the second and third quarters. That allowed ASVEL to take full advantage and establish a solid lead, which reached a maximum of 11 points towards the end of the third.

### Worrying signs... before a hero emerged

The distance was 58-66 with just over 7 minutes remaining and there was no real sign of Virtus mounting the comeback it needed. Especially considering the absence of the team’s leader and best player, injured power forward Toko Shengelia, who was barely able to conceal his discomfort as he watched from the sidelines.

All told, it looked like Virtus was heading for its third straight defeat, which would surely put a major dent in the team’s postseason aspirations and set alarm bells ringing that maybe, just maybe, the outstanding first three months of the season had been a long period of over-achievement that could not be sustained.

Then came the transformation.

The catalyst was [Achille Polonara](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/achille-polonara/002084/), who refused to give up on a missed shot by Ante Zizic, flying from seemingly nowhere to explode a lightning put-back slam, giving the otherwise worried Virtus fans something to cheer.

Polonara sparked Virtus in the fourth quarter

Momentum was further built by a three-pointer from Iffe Lundberg and a nice inside finish from Daniel Hackett, taking the run to 7-0, bringing the score back to 55-56 and generating real hope among Virtus fans that a comeback could be on.

The players were starting to believe it too, especially when Polonara then appeared with another spring-in-his-heels highlight-reel play, leaping high to swat away Paris Lee’s attempted floater with his fingertips. That block was followed, 10 seconds later, by Hackett draining a three-pointer to give Virtus the lead and send ASVEL into panic mode. The tide had well and truly turned, and the run was extended to 14-0 by a two-point strike from Lundberg and a pair of free throws by Marco Belinelli, taking the score to 62-56.

ASVEL never got closer than 5 points the rest of the way as Hackett and Belinelli continued to pour in the points, and Virtus’s incredible burst of action had somehow salvaged a night that appeared to be heading towards disaster.

### The Polonara feel-good story went to new heights

It was fitting that Polonara played such a big part in lifting his team’s energy with his two explosive plays – a put-back at one end and a block at the other – because he has overcome more hardship than perhaps any other player in the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague this season.

In October, [he was diagnosed with testicular cancer and underwent surgery](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/news/chemotherapy-will-leave-virtuss-polonara-out-at-least-four-weeks/), ruling him out of action until Round 14 in mid-December. Understandably, the 32-year-old was then gradually eased back into playing time and has not found his best form, but the absence of Shengelia forced a big upturn in playing time and responsibilities.

Thursday’s game saw him play a season-high 22 minutes and although that put-back dunk was his only basket of the night, he certainly contributed in other areas: 9 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and *the* blocked shot. Not a bad all-around effort for a player who must have wondered whether his career at the top level was over just three months ago, and a perfect encapsulation of the spirit that allowed Virtus to grab a remarkable win and reclaim a share of second place.

### Pleiss showed up on both ends for Efes

Anadolu Efes Istanbul had [Tibor Pleiss](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/tibor-pleiss/lhk/) to thank for its fast start against FC Barcelona in Round 22, as the German big man hit the ground running by scoring the first 6 points of the game to put the hosts 6-0 ahead. Despite lining up against Jan Vesely, Pleiss was cooking in the first minute and a half of the contest. Barca soon went on a 0-5 run, but Pleiss was there to score again and keep Efes 8-5 in front. Soon after, the other Efes players started to find their groove, but it was Pleiss that got the ball rolling. He then made his presence felt on defense, blocking Vesely’s shot at the midway point of the opening quarter before later rejecting shots from Nikola Kalinic and Jabari Parker in the third. Pleiss finished the game with 17 points, 7 rebounds, 1 assist and 3 blocks as he put in a high-level performance on both ends of the floor.

### Lee sets career highs in Bologna

It may have come in a losing effort, but LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne point guard [Paris Lee](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/paris-lee/011225/) had one of the best performances of his career in Round 22 – and one that nearly led to an upset in Bologna. In the end, Virtus Segafredo Bologna came back in the fourth quarter to beat ASVEL 73-63, but not before Lee set his career high with 12 assists and also tied another personal best with 4 steals. Lee finished the game with 14 points and he was the main reason why ASVEL led 45-54 after 30 minutes, before Virtus rallied late on.

### Marinkovic found range in his hometown

Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz pulled out a thrilling 90-91 win in the Serbian capital against Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade, and it was quite a homecoming for [Vanja Marinkovic](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/vanja-marinkovic/004761/). The Belgrade-born sharpshooter, who came through the system of Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade, Zvezda’s archrival, did not mind the hostile environment. Marinkovic knocked down a season-high 5 triples, including a pair in the fourth quarter that opened a 70-80 lead. Zvezda rallied in the final minutes, but with the visitors clinging to an 87-89 advantage, Marinkovic made both free throws with 7.5 seconds to go to ice the game. His performance was even more significant when you consider that this is the first time Marinkovic has scored in double figures since Round 17, having last week shot 0-for-7 from long range in a win over Olympiacos Piraeus.

Vanja Marinkovic made a season-high 5 three-pointers as Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz beat Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade 90-91 in Round 22 of the 2023-24 Turkish Airlines EuroLeague Regular Season.

### Dozier’s efforts came up short

Although Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade fell to defeat at Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens on Friday night, it wasn’t for the want of trying by [P.J. Dozier](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/perry-dozier-jr/012742/). In the absence of Kevin Punter and Aleksa Avramovic, Dozier left it all out on the floor and was not a million miles away from posting a triple-double as he posted team highs of 16 points, 7 rebounds and a career-best 8 assists. He also had a personal-best 6 steals, the most of any player this season, and 1 block. It was a really impressive all-round performance by the EuroLeague rookie, but ultimately it proved to be in vain.

P.J. Dozier had 16 points, 7 rebounds, a career-best 8 assists and a personal-best 6 steals in Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade's 84-71 loss at Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens in Round 22 of the 2023-24 Turkish Airlines EuroLeague Regular Season.

### Jones was perfect for Valencia

Round 22 saw Valencia Basket grab an impressive come-from-behind victory against EA7 Emporio Armani Milan, with [Chris Jones](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/chris-jones/010568/) orchestrating things on offense. In addition to posting a joint team-high 15 points, the guard had 5 rebounds and 6 assists. Perhaps most notably, Jones didn’t commit a single turnover on the night. That protection of the ball is precisely what head coach Alex Mumbru likes to see from the conductor of his team’s offense, and it certainly paid off as Valencia won 84-72.

Chris Jones had a joint team-high 15 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists, as well as 0 turnovers, as Valencia Basket beat EA7 Emporio Armani Milan 84-72 in Round 22 of the 2023-24 Turkish Airlines EuroLeague Regular Season.

Zalgiris Kaunas, in its first 'normal' EuroLeague week since Andrea Trinchieri took charge, beat Fenerbahçe Beko 98-75 in Round 22.

Zalgiris Kaunas made the most of practice time to shock Fenerbahçe Beko

Zalgiris Kaunas decided to change direction when 2023 came to an end, as it ousted Kazys Maksvytis and [named former Bayern Munich boss Andrea Trinchieri as his successor](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/news/zalgiris-appoints-andrea-trinchieri-as-new-head-coach/). Since that move, the Zalgiris players haven’t had much time to adjust to the Italian coach’s philosophy, with practices coming at a premium due to back-to-back double-round weeks in the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague.

Trinchieri got off to the perfect start as Zalgiris downed ALBA Berlin 77-71 at home in his first game in charge, before a three-game road trip saw the Lithuanian side go 1-2. It lost in surprising fashion to LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne (93-79), then grabbed an impressive win at Valencia Basket (79-84) before coming undone at FC Barcelona (91-73).

### Making the most of this week

Back at Zalgirio Arena after a week that allowed Zalgiris to find some time to get together and practice more, it proved to be a terrific boost for Trinchieri’s men as they had an almost perfect game in [a 98-75 win against a title contender in Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/news/euroleague-live-blog-zalgiris-kaunas-vs-fenerbahce-beko/).

Local hero Sarunas Jasikevicius is back in front of his adoring faithful with high-flying Fenerbahce, who've won six of their last seven EuroLeague encounters. Meanwhile, Zalgiris wish for their power forward Rolands Smits to restore his prowess after being limited to just 5 points in a loss at Barcelona.

Zalgiris Kaunas-Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul | Round 22 Highlights | 2023-24 Turkish Airlines EuroLeague

Zalgiris started the game in style, punishing the visitors with a 10-0 run right from the off, and it never trailing the rest of the way before reaching a game-high 23 points lead at the end of the contest. The dominance of Zalgiris turned into a 123-74 advantage in PIR, based on much better shooting (60% vs. 34% on field goals) and a better ball circulation (25 assists vs. 13).

[Laurynas Birutis, who finished with a career-high PIR of 28,](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/news/laurynas-birutis-zalgiris-kaunas-came-up-big-against-fenerbahce-beko-again/) clearly identified why his team was able to display such a dominant performance. “We had a couple of good practices, tough ones. We got some time to implement some new things, new details. So I think we saw the result.”

### A satisfied Coach Trinchieri

Having just one game this week was something that provided Zalgiris with some room to recover and improve, as head coach Andrea Trinchieri acknowledged: “I'm very happy for my players, because we had this first small stint of free practices. And they were really super focused, trying to understand what I would propose for this game. And this was the result.

“They gave me their maximum concentration and we played a great game. We played the game with unbelievable energy. We played the game with team offense and team defense; we played the game where all the mistakes we made were down to \[using too much\] energy and for trying for our best.”

Now, the challenge is to build on many of the things Zalgiris showed against Fenerbahce. “That’s my goal”, Trinchieri assured. “I cannot promise, but this is what I will work on every day.” It certainly looks like good days are ahead for Zalgiris if it can match the level it showed in Round 22.

He made 8-of-13 two-point shots and 4-of-5 free throws, in addition to recording 1 assist, 1 steal, 1 block and 6 drawn fouls. Milutinov's PIR of 40 was the highest of any player in Round 22, earning him the eighth MVP of the Round honor of his career and his second this season.

Turkish Airlines EuroLeague fans, we have our 22nd winner in this year's EuroLeague Fantasy Challenge! 

Valencia Basket found a couple of extra gears late on to defeat Olimpia Milano, despite trailing by double digits in the latter stages of the third quarter of their EuroLeague matchup.

Valencia Basket took advantage of Olimpia Milano’s second-half collapse

EA7 Emporio Armani head coach Ettore Messina could not hide his anguish after his team fell apart in the second half of [an 84-72 defeat at Valencia Basket](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/news/euroleague-live-blog-valencia-basket-vs-olimpia-milano/), with the hosts overturning a 32-40 halftime deficit to chalk up what could turn out to be a priceless Round 22 regular-season win.

The Spanish side improved to 11-11 while Milan dropped to 9-13 and suffered a severe blow in its bid to make the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague Playoffs, prompting Messina to criticize his men after the final buzzer.

“We had an 11-point lead (early in the third quarter) and at that moment we stopped playing completely,” the trophy-laden tactician, who has four EuroLeague titles to his name, said in his post-game comments. “It became a horror festival and we have to take full responsibility because we really threw away an opportunity.”

There will be little substance for counterpoint among Milan’s players to Messina’s scathing remarks, as the visitors got ripped apart when it seemed they were firmly in the driving seat.

### A disappointing finish by Milan

Having led 34-45 early in the third quarter, the visitors stretched their lead to 46-56 with 3:56 left in the period. They spilled it all in just over 2 minutes as Valencia engineered a 13-0 run and then held on for a 61-59 lead heading into the fourth.

Then, with the score tied 70-70 midway through the final period, Valencia found two extra gears while Milan, over-reliant on [Shabazz Napier](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/shabazz-napier/011224/) and [Devon Hall](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/devon-hall/011205/), came to a screeching halt.

Player of the game [Chris Jones](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/chris-jones/010568/), who paced Valencia alongside former Milan center [Brandon Davies](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/brandon-davies/007870/) with 15 points apiece, credited the home team’s emphatic win on outstanding second-half defense.

“We came out in the second half and picked it up on defense, we got the stops and we got the result we wanted,” Jones commented. “I’ve got great teammates. We moved the ball very well today and got some open looks, I am just happy we got the win.”

Davies added: “We’ve got to give ourselves credit as we stepped up defensively when we needed to.”

An unfortunate defeat to Real Madrid condemned Valencia to three consecutive narrow losses, leaving them on the perimeter of the top-ten. They host a Milan group habouring similar aspirations and endeavouring to repeat the feat of a comprehensive 83-52 win when the teams met in November 2023.

### Valencia put the clamps on Napier, Hall

Valencia’s defense after the interval was undoubtedly the key factor, as Napier and Hall got stifled out in the last 5 minutes of the game and the support cast failed to step up to the plate. Valencia also fired on all cylinders at the other end of the court, finishing the game on 11-of-26 shooting from downtown after making just 3-of-12 in the first half.

The home team won the battle in the paint, having racked up 36 boards to Milan’s 31, with Davies making life difficult for his former teammates, [Kyle Hines](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/kyle-hines/002812/) and [Johannes Voigtmann](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/johannes-voigtmann/007201/). The Milan pair amassed a combined total of 2 points and 5 rebounds between them, with Valencia forward Semi Ojeleye also doing a grand job for the hosts as he racked up 14 points and 7 boards.
