Good old Lou Amundson wins our Goose Egg award for the night. He played 15:26 and missed both of his free-throw attempts, ending with no points and fouling out. He did have two blocks and four rebounds.

Ian Mahinmi played a very similar game to Amundson, without the other positive contributions. Mahinmi played 11:23 without taking a shot to go with his four rebounds and four fouls. To call him a gunner would be….epically incorrect.
