Ayo Dosunmu: A-
Ayo Dosunmu returned after a one game absence and balled out on TNT, finishing Tuesday night’s win with 17 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists, and 3 steals on 7-of-11 shooting. Ayo helped defend Kyrie Irving well throughout the night, forcing him to hit just 2-of-12 from the field.
Patrick Williams: A
Patrick Williams has heard the skeptics and he’s responded with his play. Williams played his best game of the season on Tuesday, finishing with 12 points, 7 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal, and 2 blocks. Maybe all he needed was to hear Billy Donovan hint at a potential lineup change.
Goran Dragic: A-
