NBA: Avery Bradley, Marcin Gortat - Noticeable performances from the last day of the regular season
Bradley’s big night
After waiting one whole year, Avery Bradley was finally handed a chance to make his presence felt. The young rookie did not overlook this big opportunity; rather he made the most out of it.
The 20-year-old posted career best 20 points and finished on a 10-for-16 shooting from the field in 26 plus minutes. The player also grabbed three rebounds and dished out two assists in the win against their playoff opponents New York Knicks, who were without
Carmelo Anthony and Chauncey Billups.
Henderson- Charlotte Bobcats
Gerald Henderson was commendable throughout the contest. Giving the season a nice finishing touch, the player rounded up 20 points, grabbed six rebounds and dished out six assists in the closing
night of the regular season. The player finished the year with a splendid record by scoring in double digits in 22 out of final 28 games. He averaged 15 points per game during that time.
Lakers in their Championships spirits
The Lakers rode through the game on the back of a win over the league leading San Antonio Spurs and clinched second straight victory in as many days. Fighting off the Sacramento Kings in an
overtime win, they shot 45-of-91 shots and were on fire from the free throw zone, pinning 20-of -22 shots from the stripe.
Gortat’s shiny performance
Marcin Gortat, who came to Phoenix from Orlando Magic following a mid-season trade, left the fans and coaches awestruck at his season closing night. The player posted 21 points while shooting
10-of-16 shots from the field and grabbed 13 rebounds in 35 plus minutes of action.
House making the most out of his opportunity
Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity. With the Big-Three of Miami Heat enjoying a one-game rest before the playoffs, Eddie House got an opportunity to make a mark and the
small forward made it count. House exploded with a career high 35 points from off the bench. House set the tone early in the game and posted 14 points in the very first quarter.
Budinger gives it a chase
The Houston Rockets may not be entering the playoffs, but they played with an offensive rage. With nothing to lose, they came forward to play the last game of regular season and believe it
or not, the game was worth watching. Chase Budinger performance was the highlight of the night. The player pounded 35 points, six rebounds and four assists on the night. He remained on the court for 41 minutes and also notched up 4-of-8 three-pointers in the
win.
