Given that the Utah Jazz were playing without George Hill and Raul Neto against the Kings last night, they needed some guys to step up. Fortunately, that turned out to be the case as Shelvin Mack, who is now recovered from an ankle injury he suffered last month, had a great game, posting 14 points and four rebounds in 29 minutes off the bench.
It has been an interesting year for Shelvin. He began the season in the rotation, and was thrust into big minutes when George Hill was injured. He had some good moments and some bad moments, but was pretty solid overall.
