Tiarra East gets MVP of the Week award for Romanian Liga Nationala

American Tiarra East (178-G-2002) put on an extraordinary performance in the last round for Oxigen Bucuresti and that's her to receive a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 3.
The 24-year old guard had the game-high 32 points adding three rebounds and five assists for Oxigen in her team's victory, helping them to outclass, the league's bottom-ranked team Agronomia (#9, 0-3) with 49-point margin 114-65. Oxigen is placed at 7th position in Romanian Liga Nationala. Oxigen is rather a weak team placed in lower part in the standings. They need more victories to improve their 1-2 record. In the team's last game East had a remarkable 90.9% from 2-point range and got four three-pointers out of 6 attempts. She turned to be Oxigen's top player in her first season with the team. Temple University graduate has very impressive stats this year. East is in league's top in points (2nd best: 20.0ppg) and averages solid 58.8% FGP.

The second most remarkable performance in last round's games was young forward Anisia Puscasu (178-F-2005) of CSM Sportul Studentesc Bucuresti. Puscasu impressed basketball fans with 27 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists. Bad luck as Sp.Studentesc lost that game 72-80 to Sf.Gheorghe (3-0). The season is still at the very beginning and this lost game may not be such crucial, of course if they start win the games. Let's wait for the next round. Puscasu is one of the most experienced players at Sp.Studentesc and has a reputation of one of team's most reliable players. She belongs to the best scorers in the league with 18.3ppg (#7). Her other stats are also decent: 8.0rpg and 3.3apg.

The third best performed player last round was another Oxigen's star - American Jo Raflo (180-G-2003). Raflo scored 22 points and grabbed 8 rebounds. She was another key player of Oxigen Bucuresti, helping her team with a 114-65 easy win against Agronomia (#9, 0-3). Raflo has a very solid season. In 3 games in Romania she scored 14.0ppg.
