.
Yeah, it was the Indy subs and D-league squad.

Yeah, it went to OT.

Yeah, yet another set of unheralded guards torched us.

But in the NBA, a win is a win. So, with that all said, here are the nominees for player of the game.

________________G John Wall

____31 points (11-21 fg), 10 dimes, 6 boards

___________G Garrett Temple

____16 points (6-14 fg), 4 dimes, 7 boards

_____________C Marcin Gortat

____14 points (4-10 fg), 10 boards, 1 dime, 2 blocks

____Indy C Roy Hibbert -- FOR THREE!

_____________Nice heave, dude.

Or, nominate your own Player of the game in comments, below.

Go Wizards!

Gotta be Wall. We rip on him a fair amount but he's been fairly great in his production. His defense in the 1st quarter was atrocious but I thought he fought back well. 2nd unit came back crashing down to reality last night.

I was tempted to vote for Roy "Eeyore" Hibbert (he's a walking "wanna get away?" commercial these days), but I gave it to Wall.

I voted for Wall but it wasn't very heartfelt. Wall had a good game and came up huge in crunch time. But he got torched on the other end and continues to make some really bad turnovers.

Legitimately, Roy Hibbert.

If he even has a bad game instead of the travesty that unfolded, Indiana wins.

Wall was really good on offense but I can't vote in good conscience for a guy that gives up that many points to his counterpart.

Damn your Vulcan logic! Know God, vote Temple.

Wall had good energy in overtime. He's the reason for the win. Temple was good also.

John Wall. in the 4 seasons before this one, John had two 30/10 games. This season in 5 games he already has matched that.

This time it's easy pick. Wall, and no-one even close.
