"I forgot how fast the game was." He did just fine, though, making 6-of-11 shots from the floor, grabbing two offensive rebounds, handing out one assist and committing zero turnovers. Whiteside posted his ninth consecutive double-double, dating to last March. He even made his second career 3-pointer as he is 2-for-2 from deep in his 219 games in six years in the league.
