Top 16, Week 4 MVP: Jamont Gordon, Cibona

Another thriller in a Top 16 full of them rewarded a Week 4 MVP, Jamont Gordon of Cibona Zagreb, whose team has otherwise had some of the hardest luck in the round. The 94-97 road win by Olympiacos at Cibona produced the second-most points in any Euroleague game far this season and saddled the hosts with their third three-point loss in a row. Fortunately for the fans in Zagreb, however, the shootout also brought out the best in Gordon, who was unstoppable while amassing a performance index rating of 40, tied for the fourth-best all season. Against the only undefeated team left in the Top 16, Gordon poured in 32 points on 4 of 6 three-point shooting to go along with 5 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals, a block and 11 fouls drawn. Following Gordon in second place was Keith Langford of Khimki Moscow Region, who registered an index rating of 27 in his team's home loss to Caja Laboral. Langford had 27 points on 9-of-12 two-point shooting plus 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 5 fouls drawn. Trajan Langdon of CSKA Moscow and Milos Teodosic of Olympiacos tied for third this week with index ratings of 26 each. Langdon had 20 points, 6 rebounds and 5 fouls drawn in his team's road loss at Asseco Prokom. Teodosic had 22 points on 5-of-8 three-point shooting and 6 assists to lead Olympiacos to its big road win in Zagreb. Mirza Teletovic of Laboral, with a 25 index, completed the top individual performances of the week by pacing his team to the road win against Khimki.
