The 10 Best NBA Performances From Last Week: A Point Guard Explosion

6. Isaiah Thomas vs. Toronto Raptors

Another point guard by trade, Isaiah Thomas is more of the dynamic variety. IT2 has been on fire as of late, putting out 40-point performances one after another. One of those came Wednesday night against the Toronto Raptors.

In his team's 109-104 victory, Thomas scored 44 points on a 75.8% true shooting percentage. He hit 5 of 12 attempts from downtown and an outstanding 15 of 16 from the free throw line. With a team-high usage of 37.1%, Thomas was as aggressive as ever, and for that reason he contributed much more than just points.

In 37 minutes, he also distributed 7 assists to go with 4 boards, all amounting to a nERD of 57.68. Despite the tall task, Thomas pushed his Boston Celtics over the top for the slim victory.
