1) Smith seemed to have a strong performance based on the ratings, but he only played 16 minutes because of Landry. Smith is becoming more solid each game.

2) Landry scored and rebounded, but shot less than 50% and didn't defend well.

3) Ariza was fantastic all around with his scoring, assists, rebounds, and steals. The ratings back him up. His defensive rating was mostly due to the overall team effort.
