EDGE Analysis

Akoon-Purcell leading the team in scoring by going 5-for-13 from the field and 0-for-5 from deep illustrates the Blue's scoring struggles Tuesday. The 26-year-old was relegated to a bench role weeks ago after performing poorly coming off an ankle injury, though his offensive efficiency has picked up recently. Coming into Tuesday's contest, Akoon-Purcell shot an even 50.0 percent in his last five games. He'll continue to see one of the largest shares of minutes off the bench for the Blue as his stock slowly rises.
