If you’re confused as to how the Jazz could have beaten the Nuggets in Denver, look no further than Ty Lawson, who is our Goose Egg award winner for the night. In 26:44, he went 0-for-6 from the field and didn’t get to the free-throw line, finishing with zero points.
Clean and Sober Award (most minutes without taking a shot)
With just 4:10 of playing time, we can’t give Viacheslav Kravtsov too much flak. Plus (at least for now), he walks to the arena for practice and games (I can only confirm this at home games). There’s some insider information for you!
Iron Man Award (most minutes played)
Klay Thompson shot just 6-for-17 from the field and 1-for-7 from the 3-point line, probably because he’s tired. He played 45:02 to take home our Iron Man award of the night and is averaging 38.2 minutes per game at this point.
