Analysis:

Drummond showed no sign of any lingering ill effects from the injury that forced him to leave Saturday's game early and to miss Wednesday's game entirely (a kind stretch of scheduling allowed Drummond to go nearly a week between performances while only missing a single game). Drummond remains what he has been all season long: an incredible rebounder, an efficient field goal shooter, a highly capable defender, and one of the league's very worst free throw shooters.
