Stat That Stood Out
How about Khris Middleton? This was definitely his best game back since returning from injury, contributing with 18 points. He didn’t get the start as Connaughton was in his place, but this type of performance off the bench was very promising. We’ll see if it was enough to launch him into the starting five Thursday night vs. Los Angeles.
