NBA Player of the Day

Joe Johnson - ATL - 34 pts, 4 reb, 3 ast, 3 stl, 12-18 FG, 5-5 3P, 5-5 FT

We have another repeat winner, after Johnson won this award for his performance in the final game of the series against Orlando, but this time, Johnson won based on his shooting and scoring, while last time his rebounding played a large part in his victory. Johnson was perfect from behind the 3-point line last night, hitting big 3-pointers every time Chicago tried to make the game close, and he was also perfect from the free throw line. He was the best player in a game that involved the likely MVP, which is really saying something.
