Throughout his career Elfrid Payton has been able stuff the stat sheet. Payton joined Michael Jordan and Russell Westbrook last season as the only players in the last 35 years to have 5 straight triple doubles. That’s exactly what the Payton did tonight against the Grizzlies.
In 35 minutes Elfrid Payton would score 15 points and dish out 11 assists while grabbing 6 rebounds. The Knick’s ball movements took a major jump with Payton on the floor as the point guard looked to create opportunities for his teammates.
Dennis Smith Jr was the only other point guard to receive playing time and his performance receives mixed reviews.
