Nate Robinson got the best of Aaron Brooks in the match up that Seattle fans have been anticipating this season. Robinson helped the Denver Nuggets (Denver Stiffs) knock of the Chicago Bulls (Blog a Bull) 114-109, in a game that was closer than it should have been down the stretch. Robinson scored seven points and knocked down one three in thirteen minutes of action.
Brooks had a better individual game, scoring 16 points in 23 minutes, although he only connected on four of his twelve shots, two of which were threes.
Chicago Bulls head coach Tom Thibedau must be the back up point guard whisperer. From John Lucas III, to D.J. Augustin and now Brooks, it seems that Thibs always finds a way to get the most of out his reserve point guards.
To Brook's credit he was awarded the Most Improved Player trophy during the 2009-2010 season. Brooks has averaged 10.7 points per game this season, shooting 46% from behind the arc, with a true shooting percentage of 58%. All the while providing great minutes as starting point guard Derrick Rose goes in and out of the lineup (check his 26 points, 8 assists masterpiece against the Boston Celtics back on November 8th)
