The clip is a bit rough around the edges (literally), but still worth a look:
From Rusty Simmons of the San Francisco Chronicle:
Ellis scored a career-high 45 points and added five rebounds and five steals in another franchise-carrying effort that led the Warriors to a 126-107 win over Indiana in front of 16,574 fans at Oracle Arena.
Ellis topped 30 points for the fourth time in the past five games and eclipsed 40 for the second time in three games. He kept the Warriors in the game by scoring 16 straight in the first quarter and put the game away with seven straight to open the fourth.
“I was born to do this,” Ellis said. “It’s not impressive to me. I’ve been doing this all my life.”
Ellis is averaging 35.2 points and 3.8 steals in his last five games. It’s probably no coincidence that Ellis’ scoring outburst came after the departure of Stephen Jackson, and without Don Nelson, who is reportedly out sick with pneumonia.
