Jonas Valanciunas Bounces Back With 21 Points
5 years agoMemphis Grizzlies center Jonas Valanciunas scored 21 points with nine rebounds, three assists, one triple, and one block in a 134-121 victory over the San Antonio Spurs. It was a great bounceback effort from Valanciunas, who scored just four points in his last outing. The Lithuanian big man has quietly become an efficient three-point shooter, making 45 percent of 1.5 attempts per game, both career-highs. He could be due for even better production this year, considering his excellent efficiency on a minutes restriction. With Memphis in the eighth seed right now, they'll likely gradually increase the veteran's minutes as the season goes on, giving him more chances to do damage. Valanciunas will next take on a Warriors team that struggles to defend both the paint and the arc
