Lion Face: Bradley Beal
The Wizards’ third overall pick had another stellar game, something that’s becoming a regularity for him lately. His shooting mastery was the only thing watchable about a game that featured plenty of ugliness on both sides.

Lion Face: Al Horford
20/20 games are an automatic Lion Face. Horford finished with 23 points and 22 boards.
Lemon Face: The Pistons
The Hawks’ 11-point margin of victory doesn’t really do justice to how bad the Pistons looked last night. I take back everything I’ve said about wanting Andre Drummond to take his time coming back, strictly for watchability’s sake.
Lion Face: The Manimal, Pierre, and Iguodala
The three Nuggets most known for throwing down monster dunks put on a show last night against the Lakers. Seemingly every other Denver possession resulted in a transition dunk by Kenneth Faried, JaVale McGee, or Andre Iguodala:
Lion Face: Wilson Chandler’s Breakout Game
The possessions that weren’t dunks were probably buckets for Wilson Chandler, who had an excellent game after being given a last-minute start for an injured Danilo Gallinari. He finished with 23 points on 10-of-18 shooting including 3-of-5 from three-point range, and four rebounds. Masai Ujiri has already emailed his highlight video out to every GM in the league in preparation for this summer.
Lemon Face: Dwight Howard
This photo (courtesy of our friend Mike Prada at SB Nation) sums up Dwight’s defensive effort better than I could:
Lion Face: Paul Pierce
Pierce dominated the fourth quarter of a surprisingly fun Jazz-Celtics game, hitting several key shots to force an overtime, and a few more in the extra period to put the Jazz away and keep the Celtics in playoff position.
