After looking comfortable off the bench, the Cameroonian turned in his first standout NBA game last night, as Chicago were beaten 141-104 by Toronto. He was superb on defence. Among other things, he recorded 6 blocks, which is of course a career high. Koloko also scored 11 points and grabbed 7 rebounds.

Since the start of the season, the Indomitable Lion has played 9 games, averaging 16 minutes on court.
