NBA: Nigeria's Festus Ezeli Hits 12 Points For Warriors Against Nets

Nigeria's basketball player Festus Ezeli is in fine form with his team and has helped the Golden State Warriors to a fantastic 22 winning streaks from the beginning of this season. Ezeli played some minutes on the court before being substituted.

Ezeli totaled 12 points (5-7 FG, 2-5 FT), five rebounds, one assist, and four blocks in 20 minutes during the Warriors' 114-98 win versus the Nets on Sunday.


Teammate Andrew Bogut returned to the starting lineup on Sunday after missing Saturday's contest versus the Raptors with back problems, but Ezeli out-produced him off the bench. Ezeli's move to the bench should not be viewed as a negative, as the Warriors will likely look to rest the 31-year-old Bogut as much as possible to help him stay fresh throughout the regular season and ready for the postseason.
