Muscala’s Best Performance

Here at Soaring Down South we have not really looked for nuance while trying to determine a player’s best performance of the season. We look for the game where a player went out and got buckets. Buckets are beautiful and we apologize for nothing.

The performance also has to come in a victory. You play to win the game (shout-out Dennis Green). Muscala’s best game came early in Atlanta’s season. On Nov. 16, Atlanta nabbed a 107-100 win over the Milwaukee Bucks.

Muscala finished the game with 16 points, five rebounds, and three assists on 6-for-11 from the field and 3-for-4 from free-throw line. Muscala made just one three-pointer, making his high-scoring night all the more impressive.

Honorable mention goes to Muscala’s 16-point effort in December against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Muscala shot 6-for-9 from the field that night in a 92-84 Atlanta loss.
