Jrue nearly triple doubles in Rogues victory
With LSF coming to town, the home-win starved Richmond fans were clamouring for a victory (or maybe even the coach to be fired). Richmond responded by playing one of its best games of the season. 6 players scored in double figures (that's what we have to do to win without any rated shooters) and dominated the boards as well. Billups and Brand played strong games for the visitors, but not compared with great nights from Horford (who shot 11 for 13) and player of the game Holiday, who was 2 rebounds shy of a triple double with 19 points and 14 dimes compared with only 3 TOs. Quite the night in the Olympic Oval as the Rogues pull away from the Pesky Skyforce in the 4th quarter for a 116-99 victory.
