Nenê proved a huge asset for Houston this postseason, after they signed him to a one-year $2.9 million contract last offseason. He was by no means bad during the regular season, but Nenê shot an incredible 70.6 percent from the field in the playoffs while averaging 10 points a game in 17.9 minutes off the bench. Simply put, Nenê proved that a force off the bench can be the deciding factor in a game.
Nenê’s highlight of the postseason was undoubtedly his 28-point game that lifted Houston to a 3-1 lead over Oklahoma City in which he went 12-for-12 from the field.
