Bennedict Mathurin Erupts For 32 Points
2 years agoIndiana Pacers guard/forward Bennedict Mathurin had the best game of his young career on Saturday, scoring a team-high 32 points off the bench in a 125-116 win over Brooklyn. He set his new scoring record as he went 6-for-9 with three-ball and shot 8-for-16 from the field and 10-for-10 at the line. The Canadian youngster also had five rebounds and two assists with two turnovers in 33 minutes on the court. Mathurin ended a scoring slump here, after making just 34.2 percent of his shots across the previous three games. He has adjusted well to the big league and is averaging 21 points per game early in the campaign with 4.6 rebounds and 2.3 assists. Hopefully, Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle can also find a way to start squeezing out some defensive stats from Mathurin, who has another chance to pick the Nets apart on Monday.
