Bazemore’s Best Performance

Bazemore had his highs and lows this season but one game in November stands out as a high.

The swingman dropped 25 points in Cleveland against the Cavs to lift the Hawks to a huge road victory on November 8.

Baze shot 8-for-13 from the floor and 4-for-6 from three in an extremely efficient performance against top-level competition. He also added six rebounds and three assists. He was aggressive but picky with his shot selection and made the shots count.

This was the greatest example of the good Bazemore. He played with immense energy but was loose at the same time. He did not force the issue and played a free game. And he shined brightly.

This performance helped the Hawks to an 110-106 win and handed the Cavs their first loss of the 2016-2017 season.
