Andris Biedrins
The box score does not do justice to AB’s game. Six points and three rebounds over 27 minutes does not tell the story. The team played better when he was in the game. By his standards he had a very bad night rebounding, but he was a strong defensively. Though he recorded only one block and zero steals, he broke up a lot of passes and kept players from scoring easy buckets inside. On the Kings opening possession he blocked Cousins shot. Biedrins made a couple of nice plays on offense. One on a drive to the basket where he scored and was fouled. He came up short on the free throw, but the shot looked much better previous years. The hitch is gone in the shot and his form looked smoother. He also scored on a nice spin move. I don’t sense that Biedins is back 100%, but he’s almost there.
