Kyle Korver - 7/10

Cleveland Cavaliers v Boston Celtics - Game Five
Kyle Korver

Stat line: 7 points, 1 rebound, 2-6 FG's, 19 minutes

It's absolutely hilarious that Tyronn Lue didn't play Korver his usual minutes, especially in the first half, because Brad Stevens did not put Semi Ojeleye in the rotation and that he was Korver's matchup.

The 37-year old has done enough to prove that his sharpshooting skills are on-point against pretty much anybody. Yes, younger legs and lengthy wingspans could hamper his scoring but whatever he provides is more or less efficient and something the team desperately needs from their bench.

On a night, when the team's defense was better than their offense, Korver should have without a doubt played more minutes. Not much he can do about his coach's decision. In the minutes he did play, he provided what he has been pretty much all through this series.
