Daily Recap- Nov. 23

Who Was Hot

Marc Gasol (Memphis C)- Had a monster game, scoring 30 point and pulling down 12 rebounds in a 107-91 win over the Los Angeles Clippers. Gasol scored over 30 points for the second straight game, and has been getting baskets at a higher rate than ever this year.

Luol Deng (Miami SF)- Dropped 26 points on 10-14 shooting, and tallied eight rebounds in a 94-93 win over Charlotte Hornets. It was the first time in five games that Deng scored more than 20 points, and should be a consistent scoring presence going forward.

Al Jefferson (Charlotte C)- Posted a double-double of 22 points and 12 rebounds in a loss to Miami on Sunday. Jefferson continues to be one of the most efficient and talented big men in the game, and will need to be at a top level if the Hornets want to make a strong playoff push.

Who Was Not

Nick Young (Los Angeles SG/SF)- Scored only seven points on 2-12 shooting in a 101-94 overtime loss to the Denver Nuggets. Young has shot 4-19 from the field in his last two games, proving his consistency is still laking on a nightly basis.

Blake Griffin (Los Angeles PF)- Shot 5-17 from the field, and scored 12 points in a 107-91 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies. Griffin committed four turnovers, and struggled all night finding his shot against a tough Memphis defense.

Avery Bradley (Boston PG/SG)- Failed to record an assist for a second straight game, and scored 13 points in a 94-88 loss to the Portland Trail Blazers. Bradley shot 6-18 from the field, as his play continues to be inconsistent for the Celtics.
