There were nine games around the NBA on Tuesday with former Wildcats turning in some impressive performances.
One of the most notable games for UK fans was the match-up between Eric Bledsoe and Archie Goodwin of the Suns vs. a red-hot Anthony Davis and the Pelicans. Bledsoe showed increasing signs of a breakout season recording 23 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals to lead the Suns to a 102-98 win. Archie Goodwin had 3 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist and a steal playing a career-high 17 minutes for Phoenix. Davis scored 17 points, 11 rebounds and 5 blocks in 40 minutes in the loss.
Eric Bledsoe is currently averaging 22.75 points, 7.75 assists, 5.75 rebounds and 2.25 steals for the 3-1 Phoenix Suns. #MostImprovedPlayer

Jason Smith and Anthony Davis had back-to-back blocks on dunk attempts by the Suns, earning them the NBA’s “Block of the Night” honors:
Charlotte beat the Knicks 102-97. Michael Kidd-Gilchrist scored 16 points (season-high), 8 rebounds, 3 blocks, 1 assist and 1 steal in the win. He played 26 minutes for the Bobcats.
Enes Kanter helped lead Utah’s offense logging 21 points, 8 rebounds, and 3 assists on 9-12 shooting. It wasn’t enough for the Jazz, who fell 104–88 to the Nets.
A humble Big E after the game:
No excuses from Kanter after Lopez scores 27 on 10-of-13 shooting. “I think I did a really bad job guarding him,” the Jazz center says.

And this happened… Dennis Schroder grabbing DeMarcus Cousins’ junk:
Big Cuz talks about his frustrations and some questionable tactics from Hawks players in the game:
