12 points, 2 rebounds, 4 assists, 0 steals, 0 blocks in 26 minutes in a 107-101 win @ Lakers
Diaw’s small contributions helped the Jazz defeat a hot Lakers team at Staples Center.
Devin Harris

Harris’s contributions have been getting better and better every game since his return from injury.
Al Horford

21 points, 6 rebounds, 9 assists, 1 steal, 2 blocks in 34 minutes in a 107-106 loss vs Rockets
At this point, expecting Horford to rebound is a joke. Though, the rest of his contributions are extremely impressive, one can overlook his deficiencies on the glass.
Joe Johnson

2 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist, 0 steals, 0 blocks in 19 minutes in a 107-101 win vs Lakers
Johnson’s shot was off last night, but his 1-6 shooting performance did not hinder the Jazz’s win.
Shelvin Mack

10 points, 2 rebounds, 7 assists, 0 steals, 0 blocks in 30 minutes in a 107-101 win vs Lakers
Mack keeps improving, and hopefully the league will find this out soon enough. #MackForMostImproved

Jason Terry, at this point, is now an on-court coach.
Zaza Pachulia
3 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals, 1 block in 18 minutes in a 142-106 win vs Suns
In a Klay Thompson 60-point game, Pachulia had two assists to one of the best shooters on the planet, not named Kyle Korver.
Jeff Teague

16 points, 3 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal, 0 blocks in 26 minutes in a 142-106 loss @ Golden State
There was nothing Teague could do to salvage the Pacers’ chances at winning against a Lakers team that hot.

Best Performance of the Night by a former Hawk
Lou Williams
Currently, there are about five players in the NBA that are playing better than Lou Williams. With no context involved, Williams is a consistent 20 point, 5 assist, 4 rebound game waiting to happen. When the Lakers play the Warriors in the 1st round of the 2017 playoffs, and Lou Will drop 50, don’t forget who warned you.NEXT: Ex-Hawk Watch: December 4th, 2016Make sure to come back daily for your former Hawks’ stats!
