Some games get overshadowed by individual incidents. Last-second game-winners tend to clog up the memory, handily erasing the sloppiness that usual precedes the need for a last-second game-winner. Then, on the other side of things, there are injuries.
The Breakers are in a slump, they say. Lost eight of their last 12 since they went on that nine-game winning streak. Really does sound a lot like a slump, to be fair. Although... what would you say to the assertion that the slump ended a few weeks ago
Steven Adams finished with 360,822 ASG fan votes in total, eleventh in the Western Conference frontcourt standings. He cracked the top ten in the West FC with 27 player votes too, although none of those pesky media jokers gave him anything.

26 of 33 passing for 352 yards with 3 TDs and zero picks. 141.4 passer rating. Nick Foles was absolutely brilliant against the Vikes. The Eagles came from an early 7-0 deficit to win this thing 38-7 and they were done scoring barely a couple minutes into the fourth quarter.

Three wins and three double-doubles for Steven Adams. Check out the put-back dunks and the alley-oops, but also check out it out as he espouses his love of Jiu-Jitsu and Peyton Manning and his ambivalence towards Game of Thrones and Enes Kanter's All Star voting habits.
