Breaking down Austin Rivers’ impressive numbers since Blake Griffin’s injury
By Paul Tooke
December 2nd against the Dallas Mavericks 108-82
This one wasn’t as impressive as it’s predecessor. Austin had just 9 points on 4/15 shooting from the field (26.7%) and 1/3 shooting from three (33.3%). He blocked two shots, which is a plus, but his performance was fairly disappointing for 29 minutes of playing time. Let’s blame the lack of points it on the low amount of three’s he pulled, you will see why that’s applicable in a moment.
