Wisconsin Herd complete incredible comeback to beat Sioux Falls Skyforce

Player of the game
Xavier Munford didn’t technically get to finish the game due to a questionable ejection, but he landed a haymaker of his own with a dribble between his legs into a pull up three that completed the turnaround and gave the Herd the lead with just under five minutes remaining.
Munford continues to play out of his mind, posing problems that his opponents don’t even come close to having solutions for.
On Friday, Munford logged 37 minutes of action, picking up 26 points, six assists, four rebounds, two steals and a block in that time. The New York native completed that line in impressively efficient fashion too, shooting 10-of-15 from the field, 1-of-2 from deep, and 5-of-6 from the line.
As it stands, Munford is fifth in the league in points per game, seventh in steals and 25th in assists, and the only player in the G League to be shooting above 50 percent from deep while having played 10 or more games and attempted five or more triples a night.
Quite simply, Munford is playing at an entirely different level to the rest of the league.
