It sure was fun watching Bobby Portis light up the Heat and Hornets in the last 2 games. The 4th year forward-center scored 22 of his 26 points in the 2nd half against Miami, then came back with a 28 point first half in Charlotte on the way to a 33 point performance, 5 short of his career high.
It’s been a frustrating season for Portis, who missed 7 weeks of action early in the season because of a sprained knee ligament, then had to sit out 7 more games with a sprained ankle. All of this coming on the heels of not being able to work out a long-term contract extension with the Bulls before the opening night deadline.
