Kaspars Kambala of Fenerbahçe was dominant in a crucial 86-83 victory over St. Petersburg on Tuesday evening and deservedly earned EuroCup Player of the Week honours.

Kambala scored 12 of his game-high 31 points when it mattered most in the fourth quarter to lead Fenerbahçe to their eighth victory in nine EuroCup games.

Kaspars Kambala still hears criticism over his failure to join up with Latvia's national side on time.

"I am trying to ignore it," he said to Diena, a Latvian newspaper.

The 2.05m centre arrived in Europe from the United States a week after he was expected.
