We saw some great upsets last night in Minnesota and Oklahoma, and now it is time to see who was at the helm when this upsets took place in the NBA:
5. Moritz Wagner
The Wizards' power forward scored a career-high in points last night, when the Washington Wizards broke their losing streak in Minnesota, against the Timberwolves. The german that the Los Angeles Lakers let go for free to Washington scored 30 points, had 15 rebounds and went 4/4 from the 3-point line. He also went 13/15 from the FG range, and overall, he might have been the most offensive efficient player on the court, last night. It is important to note that he only played 25 minutes, as he came off the bench for the Wizards.
What the numbers do not say, is how well Wagner played defensively, as he obliterated many of Minnesota's tries to level the game, He recorded an important steal, in an important moment of the match, and was a player that Washington could rely on both offensively, as well as defensively. Only one player was better on the court than Wagner, in Minnesota last night, and we will meet with that player later in the list. Until then, it was important to highlight the break-out game Wagner had in this one.
