I gotta give it to Delon. His infectious energy injected life into a deflated team after the first quarter. He set the tone on the defensive end. On the offensive side he poked, prodded, and danced his way to the rim countless of times. He stepped up and knocked down several open 3 pointers as well which punished the Lakers.
Dude was a monster every second he was on the floor.
Honorable mention to Justin Jackson. He brought the goods today on the offensive end and really gave the team much needed consistency from long range. He was apart of the first spark in the 2nd quarter that gave the Mavs the lead! Fantastic stuff.
3rd place is surprisingly Dwight Powell. Given his first 15 games, I never thought Powell would ever be in the running for a Dirkie. But tonight he FOUGHT. Especially in the 2nd half, Powell came out with an attitude. He battled for every single rebound. He boxed out. He challenged every shot he could. He ran after every loose ball. On any other night, he'd deserve it.
