The 3 Best NBA Performances From Last Week: Anthony Davis Schools Karl-Anthony Towns
2. Joe Johnson vs. New Orleans Pelicans
Up until recently, Joe Johnson had faded to the background as a limited bench contributor for the Utah Jazz. But, in recent games, he's shown us that he still has the game to get buckets on the regular.
Against the New Orleans Pelicans Wednesday night, Iso Joe poured in more points (27) than he played minutes (23). He was superbly efficient, finishing the game 10 of 14 from the field, including 6 of 8 from three-point range. Professional marksmanship of that kind gets you a 93.5% true shooting rate.
This performance led to a 55.28 nERD, or roughly 2.4 per minute, in Utah's dominant 127-94 win.
