Once again i am not comfortable making one choice when 3 guys legitimately deserve it. I think i will go with McRae for leading the team in pts and assists. Garrison and Ian were deserving as well.

Ish isn't in POTG consideration for me but he did come up big in the 2nd half.

AP got 10 rebounds/2 blocks/2 assists in only 18 minutes.

I'd like to give it to the bench mob. Ironically, Ian's the one not off the bench - call him an honorary bench member.

Gonna go with Matthews! That was a fun game! Glad Brooks rode with Ish in the 4th and didn't bring IT back in.

Matthews and Mahinmi were incredible, and Ish was a rock down the stretch, but McRae had the best night. He (and to a lesser extent, Ish) were the only ones on the roster capable of bending Miami's defense to create shots for others. Without McRae, we would have been dead in the water. He led the team in scoring, assists, and on/off differential. And he was good on defense too, getting 2 steals and a block. He played 35 minutes as a primary ball handler and committed no turnovers.

The bench had a great run and was absolutely dominant but Ian quietly rendered Bam totally ineffective which gave the bench a chance to run up the score on a night when the Wizards had starters on a technical basis only.

Choose McRae because I didn’t see Matthews go god mode in the second. Honestly wanted to pick Ish with all his sick layups though.
