In just his third 7DAYS EuroCup game ever, forward Isaiah Miles caught fire to help Limoges CSP break a two-game losing streak and to earn the MVP honor for Round 4 of the regular season. Miles exploded for 23 points to go with 7 rebounds, 1 assist and 6 fouls drawn as Limoges topped visiting Tofas Bursa 89-81 in Group B. His 6-for-6 three-point shooting matched the highest total without a miss in any EuroCup game since 2012 and his performance index rating of 31 was the best among all players in Round 4. As such, Miles became the first MVP of the Round ever from Limoges.

Akpinar made 4 of 4 two-point shots, 3 of 4 threes and 10 of 10 free throws for a PIR of 30. Uros Lukovic of Mornar Bar came next with a 29 PIR based on his 14 points and 9 rebounds, although his team lost away to Fraport Skyliners Frankfurt. Five players tied with PIRs of 28, including two from Zenit St. Petersburg.
