The artist formerly known as Jeff Pendergraph (Jeff Ayres) takes home our Goose Egg award, for playing 25:12 without scoring a single point. He did pound the glass, pulling down 10 rebounds in a big win over the Bucks.
Clean and Sober Award (most minutes without taking a shot)
We’ve got another double winner tonight, with Jeff Ayres pulling in the Clean and Sober award. This is usually reserved for players who had bad games, or at the very least were out there doing next to nothing…but not in this case. Ayres had a solid game.
Iron Man Award (most minutes played)
Brandon Jennings played 46:20 to win the Iron Man award for the night, which isn’t all that surprising considering it was an overtime game and Jennings is like the Energizer Bunny. He’s averaging a career high 36.8 minutes per game this year, as well.
