Euro League
Second best performance in EuroLeague history, Mustafa Fals 8 blocks: His statistics are legendary
Things and wonders from Mustafa Fal in Olympiakos’ away win against Villeurbanne. See the French Center report.
What Mustafa Fal did on Friday evening (December 22nd) in Villerban – Olympiacos will be remembered for many years to come. The French center played 34 minutes at the LDLC Arena and magically replenished his stats without giving many attempts at all. He only had two points out of 1/2 two points, but…
But he did everything he could to rebound, create and defend. He collected seven sacks, dished out seven assists to match his EuroLeague career high, and delivered eight blocks for a career high that is also the second-most in the history of the competition in its modern form (since 2000).
Stojan Vrankovic had made ten tackles in Bologna’s game against Cibona in February 2001, while Fal and Grigor Hizniak (via Peristeri) recorded eight tackles in Zalgiris Kaunas’ game against Estudiantes in December 2000. Aside from Hizniak (twice), Lauren Woods – Darius Lavrinovic has written from seven.
