Jean Montero named MVP

Jean Montero, a Dominican point guard playing for Olympiakos Piraeus, was named MVP of the 5th round of EuroLeague on Thursday, October 15, following his performance in the team's victory over Valencia (97-102 after overtime).

Montero's standout performance

Montero scored 26 points, 5 rebounds, and 2 assists in the game, which took place at the Roig Arena, where he had previously played for two seasons. He was particularly effective near the basket, making 7 of 9 shots from two-point range, 1 of 3 three-pointers, and 9 of 10 free throws.

Olympiakos' historic comeback

Olympiakos made one of the most memorable comebacks of the season, overcoming a 28-point deficit in the third quarter to defeat Valencia in overtime. This marked the largest comeback in EuroLeague history since the statistic began being recorded in 2007.

Fournier's key contribution

Montero was the top scorer for his team with 26 points, while Evan Fournier also played a key role in the victory. Fournier, who was quiet offensively in the first quarter, scored 23 points after halftime to support Olympiakos' comeback.

Next match against Barcelona

Olympiakos Piraeus is set to play against Barcelona, another Spanish team, in the 6th round of EuroLeague on Friday, October 16.
