Poirier finished with a performance index rating of 35, tops among all players this round, and 15 of that total came in the game's last 5 minutes, 35 seconds, when Baskonia rallied from 76-67 behind to win. He also established personal highs with 16 points, 12 rebounds and 5 blocks, with the latter matching the most by any EuroLeague player this season.
