Matas Buzelis chipped in 16 points (7-of-12 FGs), three rebounds, one assist, three steals and one block over 24 minutes during Sunday's blowout loss to the Warriors.Buzelis reached double figures for the fourth consecutive contest, but finished a season-worst minus 30 in this one as the injury-depleted Warriors took care of business on the second night of a back-to-back.
