▸See where these figures come from
I count as the game-winner the basket that puts the winning team ahead for good, and as a run the consecutive points by one team without the opponent scoring. The player who decided it is the winner's top scorer in the box score; on a tie, the one with the higher PIR.

Each bar is a stint on the floor according to the official EuroLeague play-by-play. The source logs each substitution by its minute, not its second, so the edge of a bar can shift by up to a minute. The number is the minutes in the box score and the team's +/− with him on the court.
