Magic's Serge Ibaka: Notches first double-double of the season
Ibaka scored 18 points (8-13 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-3 FT) and had 10 rebounds, five blocks and one assist across 32 minutes during a 118-111 win over Brooklyn on Friday.
Analysis:
In one of his better all-around games of the season, Ibaka had a season-high five blocks and got his first double-double as a member of the Magic. Nikola Vucevic (back) returned from a three-game absence and was effective, but didn't affect Ibaka's production in any significant way. Ibaka isn't the most reliable player to own, but as Friday's game shows, he is capable of huge nights on both ends of the floor.
