Metta World Peace finally plays well
Metta World Peace - G/F - Los Angeles Lakers
Feb. 13, 2013 - 2:40 AM ET
Metta World Peace broke out of a funk and had 17 points, eight rebounds, four steals, a block and two 3-pointers on 6-of-16 shooting in Tuesday's win over the Suns.
Despite tonight's line, MWP is still hitting just 26 percent of his shots in February, and we're guessing that part of the reason Kobe Bryant decided not to shoot tonight was to get MWP back on track. Maybe it worked, as this was easily his best game since he had 15 points and 10 boards back on Jan. 27. World Peace's shooting is still too risky for him to be in many lineups right now, but he'll eventually break out of his funk, and might have gotten back on the right track tonight.
