We head over to the United Kingdom, where Mike McCall had a monster game for the Manchester Giants in the British Basketball League. McCall scored 50 points, the most in BBL play in more than five years, to go along with 7 assists and 3 steals in his team's 124-123 victory over the Worcester Wolves.
