The second week of action in the Turkish Airlines Euroleague
2012-2013 Regular Season has wrapped up. And in the first overtime game of the season,
CSKA prevailed over its competition as forward Sonny Weems showcased the best
performance out of any player in the league this past week.
Thus, Weems ends up with the MVP honors, thanks to his
career-best performance and fifth overall for any player that had suited up for
CSKA Moscow throughout the team’s stint in the Euroleague. Weems’ performance
came at the heel of a nailbiter road win for CSKA wherein the game closed out at
76-71. He put in 8 points during the final three minutes of play along with 6
crucial free throws that helped to secure the win for his team.
At the end of the game, Sonny Weems had registered a total
of 30 points with only 4 misses on the field. In addition, to his 30-point performance,
he also grabbed 3 rebounds, had 6 steals, and drew 6 fouls from the opposing
team. This helped to bring in a total of 38 points for his performance index
ranking on week 2 of Euroleague regular season.
Other contenders for the Euroleague Regular Season Week 2
MVP award were Anadolu Efes Istanbul’s Jordan Farmer (performance index rating
of 36) and Asseco Prokom Gdynia’s Lukasz Koszarek (performance index rating of
26).
Meanwhile, Jordan Farmar also led the league in assists during
the course of the Thursday and Friday games in the Euroleague. Farmar had 9
assists during their win against defending Euroleague champs, Olympiacos
Piraeus. When it comes to rebounds, Elan Chalon’s Shelden Williams was the
champ this week. He grabbed 13 rebounds, the highest this week, despite their

Euroleague 2012-2013 Regular Season Week 1 Results
The new season of Euroleague has officially kicked off last October 11, 2012. Hence, the wait is over for Euroleague fans who are excited to see which teams will make it to the Euroleague Final Four and be crowned as champs!
Euroleague Week 1 Thursday Recap
Starting off in Group A, BC Khimki Moscow suffered its first defeat of the season at the hands on Fenerbahce Ulker Istanbul via a 92-80 rout last October 11. Emir Preldzic, the MVP for week 1 of the 2012-2013 Euroleague Regular Season, raked in 20 points to help out his team's cause. But the team also got a fair amount of support across its players like Bo McCalebb, Omer Onan, and Oguz Savas. As for BC Khimki, Zoran Planinic led them in the offensive department with 17 points. The poor 25 percent shooting of the team did not help their cause to kick off the season in a winning note.
In another Group A match on Thursday, Mapooro Cantu suffered a 13-point loss to Union Olimpija in an 84-71 game. The win from Union Olimpijia was made possible thanks to the efforts from Dylan Page and with three other teammates scoring in double digits (namely Jaka Blazic, Aron Baynes, and Sasu Salin).
The first game of the season was kicked off by a Group D match between CSKA Moscow (last year's runner up) versus Lietuvos Rytas Vilnius. Head coach Ettore Messina's CSKA squad ends up with the win in a close game with a 75-73 finish. Sonny Weems was the highest scorer for the Russian squad after raking in 14 points in nearly 27 minutes of play within a 5/8 field goal shooting percentage. Helping him out in the scoring duties were Nenad Krstic and Viktor Khryapa, who each scored 12 apiece for their team. Meanwhile, Renaldas Seibutis carried Rytas' on his back with 19 points in 32 minutes that he played on the court. But the Russian powerhouse seemed to be too much for the Lithuanians to hold off.
Other game results on Thursday are as follows:
Elan Chalon-Sur-Saone beats Asseco Prokom via an 81-74 game, making their Euroleague debut memorable. Meanwhile, Maccabi Electra Tel Aviv inks their first win of the season after beating Unicaja Malaga, 85-80. In Group C, Zalgiris Kaunas and defending champs Olympiacos Piraeus each earn their respective wins over Cedevita Zagreb and Caja Laboral Vitoria, respectively, during Thursday's schedule of games.
In Group D, Spanish champs Regal FC Barcelona took an easy win in front of their home crowd at Palau Blagrana as they went up against Brose Baskets Bamberg, winning 72-60.
