- K Bryant 26 pts (6/10FG)

Just as the question was asked this week:

MVP! MVP! MVP!

That would have to be some sort of low for him...and three other starters and one sub had more shots than he did

[Swooper16]

his back injury worsened during the game - so couldnt create his own shot. I dont think he even had a field goal attempt in the last 1/4

It's a BULL MARKET....

Chicago get pick ONE in the upcoming draft - after having less than a 2% chance of hitting that pick.

Miami get two, T-Wolves get three
