Yeah, Tracy McGrady did it with the Magic in 2003.
This is the type of game that makes Eddie Jordan look like a genius subbing in guys so far down on the bench early in the game. They all seemed to shoot well and keep a good sized lead for the starters to come in and finish it off. Gilbert played very nice scoring 30 points and dishing out 11 assists. Hopefully he will come ready to play against the Blazers in Portland. As we probably all remember, he played abysmal after declaring a 50 point game. He ended with only 9 points. He needs to put the beef behind him and come out like he did today, driving and dishing.
I look forward to watching Blatche improve in the starting lineup while Caron is sidelined. He played well today with 10 points, 7 rebounds, and 1 block. Darius Songolia was also solid in 20 minutes. He contributed 12 points on 6-6 shooting. He also had 6 rebounds and 2 steals.
