MVP: Norris Cole
I legitimately never thought I would type those words for the remainder of the season, but Cole really did earn it tonight. He’s proven to us in recent seasons that the defense will never, ever get there. But when he can exert himself completely in every other facet of the game, he becomes more than playable. Tonight, that meant early ignition of the offense, six assists, and some pretty aggressive rebounding.
LVP: Darren Collison
In a game full of ghastly defense, Collison could be considered the cult leader. Throughout the entire game, Cole and Jrue Holiday both broke ground on new homes in the paint at Smoothie King Center.
