One of the highest-scoring thrillers of the Eurocup regular season so far also produced the best individual performance on Tuesday as 20-year-old forward Mindaugas Kuzminskas became Week 3 MVP by helping BC Siauliai win its first game in spectacular fashion.

Siauliai rallied from a 13-point deficit in the fourth quarter to edge Aris BSA 92-91 in Group C as Kuzminskas poured in 21 points. In just his third game ever in European competition, Kuzminskas made 4 of 5 two-pointers, 3 of 6 three-pointers and 4 of 4 free throws while also collecting 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals, 2 blocks and 3 fouls drawn for a performance index rating of 34 index.

An all-Eurocup player from last season, Marko Banic of Bizkaia Bilbao Basket, was second after helping his team rally from 12 points down to defeat Turk Telekom 70-85 in Ankara. Banic scored 26 points on 9-of-11 two-point and 8-for-8 free-throw shooting, pulled 4 rebounds and drew 8 fouls for a 33 index rating.

CJ Wallace of Benetton Gioco Digitale paced his team to a road win at Dynamo Moscow with 21 points on 8-of-9 two-point shooting, 6 rebounds, 2 steals and 5 fouls drawn, enough for a 30 index rating. Dwayne Broyles of Spirou Basket and Marc Salyers of Le Mans, each with 28 index ratings, completed the top individual performances for Week 3.
