The best single-game playoffs performance in more than 15 years has earned AX Armani Exchange Milan forward Shavon Shields the first MVP honor of his three-season Turkish Airlines EuroLeague career. With career highs of 34 points and a 41 performance index rating, Shields carried Milan to a nail-biting 92-89 home win over FC Bayern Munich in their best-of-five series finale on Tuesday to clinch the club s first Final Four appearance since 1992. His PIR is the best following the very first night of the modern playoffs format, back in 2005, and his point total is tied for the highest in a playoffs victory over that span. Shields was followed by another stellar clutch performer as Chris Singleton led Anadolu Efes Istanbul across the finish line to the Final Four in an 88-83 home win over Real Madrid that went down to the final minute.

Shavon Shields poured in a career-high 34 points to lead the three-time European champion, which last played in the Final Four in 1992. Milan led by as many as 17 points and was still up 12 points with 78 seconds left in the game.
