MURCIA (Spain) - David DeJulius produced a performance for the ages with a remarkable 41-point haul in the second leg of the Semi-Finals.
The Slovakian international tied the competition's single-game scoring record set by Trae Golden in 2020, but his efforts were not enough to help send UCAM Murcia to the Finals.
DeJulius shot 15-of-25 from the floor - including a perfect 4 of 4 from three-point range - as Murcia defeated PAOK BC 89-85 on their home floor, although they fell agonizingly short on aggregate by two points.
It's only the third 40+ point performance in the history of FIBA Europe Cup with Rashawn Thomas the first to do so back in 2019.
