The 10 Best NBA Performances From Last Week: A Point Guard Explosion
10. Gordon Hayward vs. Milwaukee Bucks
For the first time in his seven-year career, Gordon Hayward was voted into the NBA All-Star game as a reserve. Believe me, it isn't a mistake either. Through 44 games, Utah's key swingman is having the best statistical year of his career.
This past week, Hayward kept it all rolling with a 104-88 win over the Milwaukee Bucks Wednesday night. All total, Hayward finished the game with 27 points, 5 assists, and 4 rebounds in 32 minutes. His nERD of 50.49 is six times that which the Bucks' best player had to offer.
Hayward was very efficient with his 13 shot attempts, including 3 of 6 from the three-point line for an offensive rating of 148.7. And, after accounting for the forward's 93.0 defensive rating, his offensive efficiency made for a net rating over 50.
