TJ Shorts II orchestrated Power Electronics Valencia's attack with surgical precision: 12 points, 10 assists and just one turnover in 19 minutes, shooting 5 of 8 from the field. That efficiency in the playmaker role was enough to earn him player of the game as Valencia dismantled Baskonia 111–88 at home. The 23-point margin tells the story. Valencia's ball movement and court direction — anchored by Shorts II's decision-making — created space and rhythm that Baskonia never found an answer for. Shorts II's night was clean: two free throws made, a steal, and his lone turnover speaks to how little he had to force when the flow was working. In 19 minutes, he did the job a lead guard is supposed to do. No need to pad the stats; the result was already decided by half-court execution.
