Serge Ibaka (Oklahoma City PF)- Shot 2-13 from the field, scoring only six points in the Thunder's loss to Utah on Tuesday.

J.R. Smith (New York SG)- Scored only nine points on 3-12 shooting in the Knicks loss to the Bucks on Tuesday. It was a drop-off night for Smith, who had scored 28 points in the Knicks' previous contest.

Kyle Korver (Atlanta SG/SF)- Scored only eight points on 2-6 shooting in a 114-109 loss to the Lakers. Korver has been very quiet the past two games after a hot start, so it will be interesting to see how he plays moving forward.

Play of the Night

Kobe Bryant's fadeaway jumper with just over a minute to play gave him 32,000 points for his career. With his scoring continuing to be strong, Bryant should pass Michael Jordan sometime before Christmas.
