Nicolas Laprovittola rains 6 threes on FC Porto
Nicolas Laprovittola turned Porto's home court into a shooting gallery. The DKV Joventut guard torched the hosts for 23 points on just 24 minutes—an 8-of-11 display from the field that included 6 threes on 9 attempts—as the Spanish side dismantled FC Porto 81–64 in Group H play. Laprovittola's efficiency defined a one-sided contest. He needed barely a half's worth of minutes to dismantle Porto's defence, mixing pull-ups with catch-and-shoot looks in a rhythm that never allowed the home team to settle. The 1-of-2 free-throw line his only blemish on an otherwise clinical outing; five turnovers the trade-off for aggressive shot-making. The 17-point road victory leaves little doubt about the gap on the night. Laprovittola's hot hand was the principal reason Joventut never needed to sweat it out.
