A.J. LAWSON made the difference in Baskonia's 86–76 win over Milano with a 16-point, 4-for-7 three-point night that kept the hosts ahead when it mattered most. The American hit 60% from the floor overall and was efficient from deep, finishing with 3 rebounds and 3 assists across 28 minutes without turning the ball over more than once. That kind of low-turnover volume is rare; Lawson's decision-making meant Baskonia could lean on his shot-creation down the stretch without bleeding possessions. Milano stayed close early, but Lawson's range and accuracy in the midgame pulled Baskonia clear. A 10-point margin might sound comfortable, but in EuroLeague basketball it reflects a controlled performance rather than a blowout — and it was Lawson's accuracy from three that created enough breathing room for Baskonia to manage the rest.
