Around the NBA: 3/15/2012

The NBA had just five games on the Schedule Thursday night. There were some very nice performances from a few players, but only three can be named the top performer of the night. In third was the play of Luke Ridnour who scored 18 points and dished out 13 assists in a lost to the Jazz. In second was Blake Griffin who scored 25 points, grabbed 8 rebounds, and dished out 4 assists in a lost to the Suns. And in first was John Wall who scored 26 points, dished out 12 assists, and grabbed 4 rebounds in a win over the Hornets. This was a nice performance by a player who is growing and is providing the Wizards with the consistency they have needed.

Now for the scores from around the league…
