In Utah’s game against the Miami Heat on Nov. 9, Millsap scored 11 points — in the final 28 seconds.

Millsap said of his performance, “I guess when it rains, it pours.”

Goat of the week: Eddy Curry

Put aside the fact that this guy is making $11.2 million this season to sit on the bench for the Knicks. A report surfaced last Wednesday claiming that Curry is being sued for $73,000 for failing to pay for auto repairs in 2007 and 2008. This report is surfacing in a year where Curry is being sued for over $600,000 for having sex with an underage girl. The Eddy Curry saga keeps getting worse; at least it will be over after this year.
