Howard scored 34 points during the 91-95 victory against Virtus Bologna, which helped the Baskonistas secure eighth place heading into the play-in. The point guard from New Jersey was just one point shy of his record in this tournament, having hit six of nine two-pointers, five of 13 three-pointers and seven of eight free throws; He gave three assists and received seven fouls, achieving the first matchday MVP in his entire career.
