3 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist, 0 steals, 0 blocks in 17 minutes in a 120-89 loss vs Kings

3 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal, 0 blocks in 14 minutes in a 126-94 loss vs Cavs

No Knicks played exceedingly well, but it is notable that Holiday was not sent out to play garbage time minutes, meaning he is an active member of the rotation.

Al Horford

10 points, 6 rebounds, 8 assists, 0 steals, 2 blocks in 29 minutes in a 117-87 win @ Orlando

The Celtics beat a team that they should and Al Horford had more assists than rebounds.

Jason Terry

4 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, 0 steals, 1 block in 22 minutes in a 115-98 win @ Clippers

Where would the Warriors be without Zaza Pachulia? Likley without 4 points, 5 rebounds, and three assists.

Jeff Teague

19 points, 5 rebounds, 11 assists, 2 steals, 0 blocks in 36 minutes in a 109-94 win vs Suns

Teague has been playing well since a shaky start to the season. Jeff Teague will be an NBA All-Star this season.

Marvin Williams

24 points, 1 rebound, 0 assists, 3 steals, 0 blocks in 25 minutes in a 134-95 loss @ Houston

Lou Will has resurged as one of the best ten scorers in the NBA this season, yet it meat nothing as the the Lakers were thrashed away from home.

Best Performance of the Night by a former Hawk

Lou Williams

Currently, there are about five players in the NBA that are playing better than Lou Williams. With no context involved, Williams is a consistent 20 point, 5 assist, 4 rebound game waiting to happen. When the Lakers play the Warriors in the 1st round of the 2017 playoffs, and Lou Will drop 50, don’t forget who warned you.
