The Final Four by the numbers: which records can be broken this weekend?

MALAGA (Spain) - Trophies are meant to be conquered and records are meant to be broken.

We know for a fact that one of four teams will lift the splendid, spiky Basketball Champions League trophy high in Martin Carpena arena on Sunday.

But which players or teams will set new records during the season-ending tournament of the BCL's seventh edition? We've put together a few likely candidates and a few numbers that stand out.

*For the purpose of direct comparison, we have only included figures from the Semi-Finals, Final and Third-Place Game of the two editions in which the BCL concluded with a Final 8, due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
