Summary: Real Madrid - Gran Canaria 85:105 (Sport1)
For the second time in the current Euroleague season - the outstanding player of the cycle comes from the back line of Maccabi Tel Aviv.
After Lorenzo Brown was honored in the fifth round, Wade Baldwin won the individual title thanks to his impressive performance in the fifth against Elba Berlin.
The yellow guard set personal career records in the Euroleague in points (33) and in the index (35).
As I recall, Oded Ketch's team had to manage most of the match without Lorenzo Brown, who was injured in the first quarter and will be absent for the next few weeks.
In the absence of the center and Jaylen Adams, Baldwin took over the game and, along with the 33 points, added 6 assists, 3 rebounds, a steal and a block in 27 minutes on the floor.
This is the fourth time that Baldwin has won the factory player of the week, after he did it once in the Bayern Munich uniform two years ago and twice last season in the Basconi uniform.
Baldwin even became the second player ever in the Euroleague with a statistical streak of at least 33 points, 3 rebounds, 6 assists, a steal and a block, with the second player on the list being the Maccabi Tel Aviv legend, Nikola Vujicic, who did this in 2006/7.
Carried the team in Brown's absence.
