Pau Gasol Picks Up a Double-Double Off The Bench
7 years agoSan Antonio Spurs center Pau Gasol is back to being a role player off the bench lately, logging very few minutes in recent games, but he had a superb performance on Sunday against Milwaukee, as he picked up a 22-point, 13-rebound double-double in 24 minutes. He made 10 of his 15 shots from the floor, finishing 2-for-4 from the free throw line. Gasol has averaged less than 19 minutes per game this month, going over 20 minutes just a few times, so it's hard to predict how Pop will use him in the upcoming games. On paper, he does have another favorable matchup on Tuesday, with the Wizards only slightly better than the Bucks in handling centers.
