If NBA fans are wondering how Kai Jones is doing in Europe, he's putting together one of the most efficient stretches the EuroLeague has ever seen. "How many shots have you missed in the past year?" In any other basketball interview, it's a ridiculous question. But when I asked Jones, it was the only one that mattered. 👇 (1/5)

Also, it was a psychological evolution for a player who used to try and prove too much. "When I was younger, I was like, 'Oh, let me show that I can do this...' Then you get older, and you're just like, 'Well, it's really just about winning.' It doesn't matter what you show... It's just about putting points on the board and getting the win." (4/5)

With an absurd 15 EuroLeague/EuroCup/BCL games packed into a 5-hour window last night, some interesting events went entirely under the radar. Lietkabelis stunned PAOK 95-86, and Cedi Osman's scratches tell only part of a wild story in Panevezys (1/5)

Back in 2021, Zeljko Obradovic brought a loaded Partizan team featuring Kevin Punter and Zach LeDay into this exact arena for the EuroCup game. Lietkabelis, coached by Canak, sent them packing too, 93-78. Canak wasn't about to pretend he was a tactical genius, either. Lietkabelis had just suffered a crushing domestic league defeat over the weekend. (4/5)

While the rest of Europe was busy watching the EuroLeague heavyweights, PAOK stars learned the hardest truth in the EuroCup: Talent dictates the pre-game odds, but in Panevezys, blood and grit decide the final score. Read the full story here: (5/5) basketnews.com/news-257335-c…
