Holiday had 22 points of his own, as he shot 9 - for - 17 from the field and 4 - for - 5 from beyond the arc. He struggled in Monday's loss to the Clippers where he finished with only seven points, so this was a nice bounce back game for him.

He's now averaging 15 points and 6 rebounds on the season. Both Tyreke Evans and Alexis Ajinca were the other two to reach double - digit points with 11 and 10 points respectively. Kobe Bryant struggled with his shot Sunday, as he went only 6 - for - 18 from the floor and 0 - for - 5 from the three - point. He finished with 14 points, which is nearly half of his season average. Ed Davis was able to post 12 points and seven rebounds in 29 minutes. It was the first time in 10 games he reached double figures in scoring.

Carlos Boozer and Nick Young each played 23 minutes, with Boozer scoring 12 points and Young posting 13. Wayne Ellington also reached double - digits off the bench, and had 10 points (4 - 7 FG, 2 - 2 3Pt) of his own.
