Billups Back on Track
After averaging just 12.7 points on .308 shooting against Indiana, Pistons point guard Chauncey Billups immediately looked comfortable finding his shot against Payton. Knocking down his first four attempts, Billups finished with a team-high 22 points and showcased his jumper -- often off of screen and rolls where he found himself wide open -- as well as strong drives to the hoop.
"I'm a shooter," he said. "I can score the ball. We get in pick-and-roll situations -- I come off of the pick and nobody is there, I look to shoot that, and more times than not, I'm going to make that shot."
Just thought I would add once again (from a previous thread) that the Lakers are garbage at defending the pick and roll.
