Once again, a certain Pacers player put together the top performance of any former Zag this week, despite playing only one game. His career high headlines this week’s recap, but there were plenty of noteworthy performances, despite many European leagues taking their midseason breaks.

He also recorded 17 rebounds and 10 assists in the game, giving him his 7th career triple-double and 3rd this season. Unfortunately, the Pacers’ next two games in Texas were postponed, so we’ll have to wait to see what Domas has for an encore.
