One of the most popular performers in Las Vegas right now is Niagara Falls’ own Jonny Flynn.
“Life isn’t as fun when Jonny Flynn is not in the game,” noted Kevin Arnovitz, an editor of ESPN.com’s True Hoop blog, in a Twitter update Saturday from the NBA Summer League.
Flynn flashed his rookie sensation credentials again, scoring 24 points in 26 minutes during the Minnesota Timberwolves’ 100-96 loss to the New Orleans Hornets.
Continuing his efficient offensive play from Friday, Flynn needed just 10 shots from the floor to become the game’s high-scorer. He missed only three times, hitting 4 of 5 from 3-point range, and converting all six of his free throw attempts.
In Friday’s win over Washington, Flynn scored 21 points on 11 field goal attempts. In four games this week, Flynn is averaging 17 points on 52.5 percent shooting. He ranks third in the league in assists, averaging 7.5 per game.
On Saturday, Flynn had four assists and four rebounds, while turning the ball over six times.
For the first time all week, Niagara Falls native Paul Harris didn’t see any playing time for the Timberwolves.
Minnesota concludes summer league play today with a 6 p.m. game against the Chicago Bulls. NBA.com is offering live and on-demand broadcasts of the entire summer league for $9.99.
