Great game to beat Kyrie and the Cavs behind a 27-14 4th quarter, this thread is late but better late than never.
Josh Smith (7)
Al Horford (6)
Kyle Korver (2)
Zaza Pachulia (1)
Devin Harris (1)
Notes: Al Horford recorded another double double with no Varejao stopping him, 14 points on 6-11 shooting is very solid and 11 rebounds is just what we wanna see from Al. Great game from him as he's not sown any signs of that rather unfortunate slump he had;
Jeff Teague went off in the first quarter with 14 points, he finished with a career high 27 points and what people aren't talking about with Teague last night was that he had 8 assists which is just what a good PG should be doing even if he scores 30, he should still be distributing the ball, very impressive from Teague tonight;
Lou Williams got burned by Kyrie on defense, but I can give him a pass because it's Kyrie Irving who can't be stopped when he gets going, Lou on the offensive side did very well as a starter again: he had 16 points on 6-12 shooting and he finished with 5 rebounds, Lou has been hot as a starter for us these past few games, Lou however does need to cut down on his turnovers: he had 5 tonight which is not nice to see;
The surprise of the night was Anthony Tolliver providing the unlikeliest of sparks off the bench: he had a stretch in the 2nd quarter where he sparked our team going 4-4 and getting 10 points, he finished the night with 13 points on 5-7 shooting and 4 rebounds, he's on the list for giving us some firepower off the bench.
Just missed the cut:
Josh Smith: I was not gonna put him over Tolliver just because he's the great Josh Smith, the only reason he didn't completely miss the cut was because he had 6 rebounds 6 assists, and 5 blocks. He however shot only 2-12 for an abysmal 7 points and totaled 5 turnovers which is awful for a big man.
