Monroe and Brogdon in Unison Again

The Malcolm Brogdon and Greg Monroe combination was at it’s best Saturday. Brogdon looked to feed Monroe the ball at every opportunity. If he didn’t have the space to operate, he’d give it right back to his point guard. They did this all night, showing why they are such a dangerous tandem.

Brogdon scored 13 points, shooting 5-8 from the field, 1-1 from three, and 2-3 from the line. He also added five rebounds, eight assists, three steals, and a block, all while turning it over only once. Brogdon played with his normal poise running the offense, hitting his teammates with a pass exactly where they like it and cutting for the ball to get his teammates out of bad situations.

Monroe had an even more efficient night, scoring 13 points on 5-5 shooting. He’d round out his stat sheet with four rebounds, two assists, three steals, and one block.

During the team’s best basketball of the season, these two played off one another like this. It took some time for them to regain their chemistry once Brogdon returned to the bench. If they can continue to play at this level, the bench could preform well enough again to take some pressure off the team’s stars.
