[Read the full, original post at Dimemag.com]
Beast of the Night: Rajon Rondo put up 30 points, 3 rebounds, 15 assists and 3 steals against the Warriors. He even hit a three, but also had 6 turnovers. Rondo shot 61 percent (11-18) from the floor and 78 percent (7-9) from the line. His lack of threes and poor free-throw shooting keep him from being an elite fantasy point guard.
