Darren Collison plays well despite benching
Darren Collison - G - Dallas Mavericks
Nov. 28, 2012 - 2:05 AM ET
Darren Collison shockingly came off the bench behind Dominique Jones on Tuesday but responded with 12 points, three rebounds, six assists and a season-high five steal in 30 minutes of the loss.
The fact the Mavs lost to the Sixers probably works in Collison's favor and we're guessing Rick Carlisle was simply trying to send a message of "play some defense" to Collison. It worked and he played well, while DoJo flopped in the start. We fully expect Collison to get his job back sooner than later, and owners should not do anything drastic with one of their starting point guards.
