Former Hapoel Jerusalem center Austin Wiley delivered a career-best performance to lead Bayern Munich to a dramatic 99-95 EuroLeague victory over ASVEL Villeurbanne on Thursday. This win is crucial for the German team, which has had a difficult start to the season. Wiley, in his debut EuroLeague season, had previously scored in double digits only once in nine games. However, against ASVEL, he exploded for 22 points on efficient 8-of-9 shooting from two-point range and 6-of-8 from the free-throw line, adding 9 rebounds and 3 blocks for a game-high efficiency rating of 32.
"We have to keep going like this," Wiley stated after the game. "We needed this win. Last week's loss (a 103-73 defeat at home to Crvena Zvezda) was embarrassing for us, for the fans, for everyone. So we wanted to play hard and get this win."
German media lauded Wiley's performance, noting his complete control of the paint and describing him as "dominant." They highlighted his powerful dunks, with one outlet stating he "destroyed the rim." Following this standout game, Wiley's season averages have improved to 7.7 points, 6.1 rebounds, 1.3 blocks, and an efficiency rating of 9.8 per game.
