Let’s get this out-of-the-way first: When Monta Ellis missed two free throws at the end of the game to the Indiana Pacers loss to the San Antonio Spurs, that was bad. It was frustrating, and it was unlike him as he is a 77% free-throw shooter on the season.
That said, in the last 10 games, Monta finally found his role as the sixth man coming off the bench. Ellis’ averages in that stretch stand at 11.9 points on 56.7% shooting from the floor and 35% from beyond the arc while handing out 4.
