- Once again the bottom two scores came from our top two scorers, but this time one of them had company.
- Al rode solo with Josh Richardson against the Blazers. Our game leader's beloved Spurs were not only blown out in the contest, but Richardson contributed just 16 PRA to the title surge.
- After an asthma attack made him a late scratch, both Ryan and Trevor had to accept Last Man In Xavier Tillman Sr. onto their scoresheet. The Grizzlies forward did most of his work in the first quarter before things got out of hand against the Kings, finishing on 18 PRA.
- Our other Memphis player selected on the night was the best possible selection from the club. Lou went with Desmond Bane and earned 30 PRA in the aforementioned loss to Sacramento.
- Trae Young provided Colin with the only double-double of the evening in the Challenge. Although his Hawks were downed by the Bulls, Young had 37 PRA in the game.
- But our top score was a much-needed one for Matt via Boston's Jayson Tatum. The All-Star had 39 PRA against the Magic to just pip Young for the night's best effort.
- Optimally, Pistons rookie Jalen Duren double-doubled in a shootout with the Bucks to the tune of 78 RBPRA albeit in a losing effort.
