In one of his best performances in recent years, Nico Brussino was everywhere as he led Casademont Zaragoza to victory over Unicaja (96-91), earning Player of the Week honors for Matchday 7.
The Argentine started quietly, with 3 rebounds and 2 rating points in the 3:19 he played during the first quarter.
Next, he added 8 rating points in the 9:13 he spent on the court during the second quarter, contributing 5 points, 2 rebounds, 1 steal, and 1 assist.
