Ty Lawson cool in hot game

Posted Oct 24, 2009
On this Friday, a night fit for the reserves, Ty Lawson was resplendent. He played 27 minutes, scoring 29 points with six assists and five steals. "I think he just got to the rim, and they never could figure out how far to get away from him," Denver coach George Karl said. "It's the double-edged sword of him scoring or somebody else dunking. He makes us go. I don't think I've ever had a rookie have a game like that." (Denver Post)
