Second consecutive “double-double” for Moussa Diabaté and this time, it was not in “garbage time” but in the heart of a close victory, against the Bucks, that the Frenchman did the damage.
His final stat line? 12 points at 6/7 shooting, 14 rebounds (including 10 offensive) and 3 blocks in 25 minutes!
“He’s hungry. He wants to eat every minute, he fights, he wants to eat every offensive rebound. I love his tenacity on both ends of the floor.” thus logically appreciates his coach, Charles Lee.
Soon a real contract?
Monstrously active, the Frenchman thus offered multiple second chances to his team, which helped him to overcome the Bucks, in a meeting marked by a final “phantom” fault.
“It’s a connector. It’s a term that we used a lot” the coach resumes on the Frenchman. “He does it on defense, with his communication and his versatility, but he also does it on offense, with his offensive rebounds that he brings out for 3-pointers that hurt. This evening, he also made a low post move, at the possession buzzer. It’s great to see him achieve all this. Basketball generally rewards you when you play with this type of energy and effort, and it’s good to see him recover the loose balls and the plays that are played at will. »
