Warriors call-up McAdoo earns game ball in NBA debut

Posted Jan 21, 2015
James Michael McAdoo got to make his NBA debut after signing his 10-day contract earlier in the day, and it was one to remember. It was McAdoo who got the game ball after the game for scoring 11 points and grabbing five rebounds in 13 minutes. And it was defense that won him adoration from Oracle Arena crowd, which gave him a standing ovation after a blocked shot. (Santa Cruz Sentinel)
