Estudiantes' Goran Suton named Basketball Champions League Round 13 MVP

There is no such thing as an easy game in the Basketball Champions League.

Goran Suton and Movistar Estudiantes were reminded of that on Tuesday night, when Group C leaders Banvit visited Madrid and nearly came all the way back from a 26-point deficit before falling, 78-73.

Banvit might have completed the most stunning turnaround in the competition this season had Suton not gotten a second wind and led Estu to the finish line. The 32-year-old veteran poured in 11 of his game-high 25 points in the fourth quarter.

"They're a very tough team, we started the second half missing some shots and they went on a huge run," Suton said to the Basketball Champions League website. "Then I got going again."

Suton, who also had 12 rebounds, 3 assists, a steal and a block for a +34 efficiency, has been named as the Gameday 13 MVP.
