2. Swaggy P Comes Through in the Clutch

While playing a team-high 29 minutes, Nick Young scored six baskets, none of which were more important than his game-winning three pointer to cap off a win over the visiting Thunder.

What’s funny about the game-winner is the fact that Young actually stole a pass that was intended for teammate Lou Williams.

Nonetheless, he faded away from well beyond the arc and hit the game’s dagger. As games go by, it’s looking more and more likely that Young will become the team’s permanent starting shooting guard after concerns that his hot shooting would die down.
