KD, meanwhile, did sacrifice some of his numbers coming to Golden State, but not dramatically so. Yes, his touches were at a career low, but he compensated for that with his best FG percentage yet. What hurt more for Durant was fewer three-ball attempts and a lower success rate from beyond the arc.

Zeller has been mostly stellar (yes, we’re poets at heart) over the four games (okay, maybe not so much over the last two). Regardless, his season-high of 20 points with six boards and two blocks on Monday did raise some eyebrows.

The Grizzlies acquired Super Mario Tuesday in a trade with the Heat. Since his debut in Memphis, that’s exactly what he’s been – superb.

He clearly didn’t fear Oklahoma’s defensive roar as he attacked the paint and received 15 free throw attempts (canning 13). Chalmers will hit treys, get to the line and a hit a ton of free throws for your team.
