Milos Teodosic masterminded our team's comfortable 61-86 road victory at FC Bayern Munich on Thursday and earned MVP honors for his effort becoming the first CSKA player this season to collect individual title.

The former Euroleague MVP compiled a performance index rating of 31, the best among all players on winning teams in Top 16 Round 5. Teodosic was the game’s top scorer with 24 points, as he knocked down a career-best 6 of his 10 three-point attempts, while going 1-for-3 for two points, and 4-for-4 from the free throw line. The playmaker also had 5 assists, 5 rebounds and as many drawn fouls for the third weekly MVP honor of his career. Tarence Kinsey of Partizan NIS Belgrade had the best index rating of the week – and the third-highest of any player this season – with a career-high 38 in a home loss to Lokomotiv Kuban. Kinsey netted a career-best 32 points, along with 5 rebounds, 3 steals and 8 fouls drawn. Next among this week's best performances was Carlos Arroyo of Galatasaray Liv Hospital Istanbul, who had an index rating of 28 by virtue of scoring 22 points, dishing 9 assists and grabbing 3 rebounds in victory over Zalgiris Kaunas. Martynas Pocius of Zalgiris finished with a performance index rating of 27 after collecting 26 points and 4 rebounds in that same game. Rounding out the weekly top five was Fenerbahce Ulker's Linas Kleiza. In a loss to EA7 Emporio Armani Milan, Kleiza scored a career-high 26 points with 5 rebounds for an index rating of 26.
