Marquis Teague is an equal opportunity shot-misser. In his 19:27, he went 0-for-3 from the field, 0-for-1 from the 3-point line and 0-for-2 from the free-throw line. He added three assists and more importantly, his team picked up a big win, so all is not lost.
Clean and Sober Award
Ryan Hollins played 11:02 without attempting a single shot. If it weren’t for his lone offensive rebounds, Hollins would have had a special kind of nasty game with his one turnover and foul personal fouls.
Iron Man Award
It’s not much of a surprise to see Luol Deng at the top of this list, especially with Derrick Rose back on the shelf. Deng played 41:40, which was five minutes more than anyone else in the league. Deng scored 20 with five rebounds and five assists in the Bulls win over the Heat.
