Great game from Norris Cole. As some of you may know, I have bashed Cole literally any time I possibly could have this season, and even made a case for him being the most harmful player in the league. Still, he had 23 points tonight on 9/15 shooting from the floor and 3/3 shooting from deep (25% on the season) and 6 assists to go along with it. Cole is a heat check player, and tonight he played like one (on a good day).

BDJ had just 9 points tonight on 3/7 shooting, but considering he probably got paid less than the mascot and he threw down an insane rim-shaking dunk I gave him some leeway.
