The French team’s dangerous three-point shooting (40.6%, second best in the league) is propelled by veteran leader David Lighty, who has made 6 of his 8 long-range attempts in the last three games. Efes, which has plenty of reason for confidence after winning its last four games on the road, has a strong inside game with Vincent Poirier partnered in the paint by Dan Oturu, who has blocked 4 shots in the last three games. And that interior presence will be crucial against Theo Maledon, who averages 27.0 points over the last three games.
