.A nearly mistake-free game that helped keep his team riding high and a monster effort in a memorable comeback produced respective co-MVPs in Round 18 of the 2023-24 Turkish Airlines EuroLeague Regular Season: Bonzie Colson of Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv and Chima Moneke of Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz.
Colson earned his first MVP honor in the EuroLeague by posting 27 points and a PIR of 34 – each the second-highest totals in his 57-game career – as Maccabi downed visiting AS Monaco 93-83 on Tuesday. Just as impressive was his shooting efficiency as Colson made 9-of-10 two-pointers, 2-of-3 triples and 3-of-4 free throws in 25 minutes. He added 5 rebounds – 3 on offense – 2 steals and 1 block while committing just 1 turnover and drawing 5 fouls.
Moneke was a tour de force as Baskonia rallied from 17 points down with 15 minutes left to beat Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens 75-73 at home in a thriller. Moneke finished with 20 points and a career-high tying 13 rebounds. He collected 15 of his points in the fourth quarter, including a game-tying triple within the final minute. He shot 4-for-5 on two-pointers, 2-for-3 on triples and 6-for-7 on free throws in 25 minutes.
