Last week of December and it’s best players

The NBA management has announced the players of the week judging from the performance in the games played from Monday, November 17 to Sunday, November 23. In the Eastern Conference it was Toronto Raptors’ Lou Williams while Sacramento Kings’ DeMarcus Cousins took the honor in the Western Conference.

He helped the raptors climb to the fourth place with 3-0 week, giving the raptors the best start in modern history of 11-2. His Average is 23.7 points per game and 2.0 SPG. Last match he managed to score 37 points which is his best in his career, and made an incredible 15 free throws and got in the records with becoming the first player to come off the bench and to score 15 out of 15 free throws in history. He definitely made the difference for the Raptors by scoring 10 of his 19 attempts for three points in the last game against Cleveland Cavaliers on 22 November He is definitely playing his season of his life, at least for now, and if this goes well we might see Toronto Raptors back on the top after god knows when.
