6th Man of the Week

Willie Hernangomez

The rookie has been really hot for the Knicks lately. Of course, the Knicks still aren’t exactly good. Still, Hernangomez is showing promise, and this week he exploded off the bench averaging 16 points on 63.6 percent from the floor, and he grabbed 10.5 rebounds a night. With Porzingis not exactly a glass cleaner, Hernangomez looks like he can be the perfect complement to the Zinger.

Clutch Performance of the Week

Isaiah Thomas

Isaiah put on a show this week, as he had not one, not two, but three 4th quarters to remember, first against the Pistons:

Then, the Lakers.

Finally, the Raptors.

All hail the King of the Fourth.

Game of the Week

Boston Celtics vs. Toronto Raptors

The second and third best teams in the Eastern Conference met for the third time this year. Isaiah Thomas did some things.

Team of the Week

Boston Celtics

The Celtics were 4-0 this week, with victories against the Raptors, Pistons, Lakers, and Clippers (in Paul Pierce’s last game in Boston).

More from Thunderous Intentions

Isaiah Thomas put on a show, the Celtics passed the Lakers for most wins all-time by an NBA franchise, fittingly when they beat the Lakers. The Celtics are the 2 seed in the Eastern Conference, and if Isaiah Thomas can keep up these fourth quarter outbursts, they can make some noise in the playoffs.

Check back next week as the NBA gears up for the All-Star break and the Rich List serves up the best of February 7th through February 13th
