After the game, Bazemore said that running down court and blocking dunk attempts is one of his favorite things to do in a game.
Bazmore— who finished Monday with 22 points, four rebounds and four assists— first blocked a dunk attempt by Teague early in the first quarter. Teague finished Monday’s game 1-of-12 from the field for two points and 10 assists.
