Stat Line: 30 minutes, 4-9 FG, 0-2 3FG, 3-6 FT, 11 pts, 2 rebs, 4 assts, 3 stls, 4 TOs.
The stats show a rather unremarkable night, but tonight we saw a little more of the real Jonny Flynn than we have all season. More of the most part, he was assertive without being overly aggressive, snapping one-handed bounce passes to open jump shooters, flipping the pill behind his back to a cutting Ryan Hollins on a fast break, even mixing it up with Dirk Nowitzki when the German got tangled up with Hollins in the third quarter. Flynn's 11 points and four assists were team-highs, and he would have had two or three more helpers if his teammates had hit shots and finished plays that you would expect NBA players to finish.
I'm too tired to do the research on this and I'll be gone all day tomorrow, but it seems that coach Kurt Rambis is playing Flynn alongside Ramon Sessions more in recent games, with Sessions handling the point guard duties and Flynn playing off the ball a bit more. Flynn's future in the Association is as a point guard, but Rambis may be realizing that in the absence of Al Jefferson (out due to an illness and his family) and Kevin Love (injury), Flynn is his most dangerous scoring option.
