Basketball shooting performances

We've had a few technical issues around here over the last few days but thankfully that seems to be almost fixed now. To catch up on the action from the last couple of days in the NBA, there were a couple of red-hot basketball shooting performances.

Firstly one of our favourites, from the Boston Celtics, Ray Allen yesterday against the Raptors yesterday:

36 points, 11 of 14 from the field, 8 of 10 from downtown and 6 of 6 from the line

When Ray is on, there's very little opposition teams can do to stop him. He's not the same player he was when he was in Milwaukee or Seattle but he's still deadly.

Not to be outdone, this line today from Mehmet Okur (pictured right) from the Utah Jazz against the Pacers:

43 points, 13 of 19 from the field, 3 of 4 from downtown, 14 of 15 from the field.

Behind Dirk Nowitzki, Mehmet is probably the second best basketall shooting bigman in the league. The 6'11" Turk can score both inside and out and has range well past the 3 point line.
