Both McGruder and Okaro White made the most of their opportunity on Thursday night. As usual, McGruder worked tirelessly on both ends. In addition to nailing four 3-pointers, he also made some impressive stops in transition on the other end. McGruder simply never gives up on a play, which is a great quality to have.
The 25-year-old also led the team with three steals, including a great heads-up play in the fourth quarter.
