Nate Reuvers made Valencia Basket history on Friday night, putting on an offensive clinic to finish with a club-record PIR of 44 – the highest by any player in the EuroLeague this season – and taking home Round 35 MVP honors in the process.
Reuvers led Valencia to an 81-94 road victory over Virtus Bologna with 33 points, also a new club record, hitting 7-of-8 two-pointers, 5-of-5 three-pointers and 4-of-5 free throws.
