Statistics for the 24-year-old Swede showed 16 points, four rebounds and five assists in 28 played minutes when Miami convincingly beat Washington (106–90).
16 points is thus Larsson's new personal best in the NBA, an increase of two from his old personal best of 14 points.
After the match, he was praised by his teammates and coach, Erik Spoelstra.
He understands what his role is, some see it as something negative, we see it as something positive, says Spoelstra at the press conference.
In recent matches, it has been sparse with playing time for Larsson. But his training will stands out according to the coach.
He is persistent, and that's why he gives himself the opportunity to be ready. He trains two-three times a day, you have to kick him out of the gym, says Spoelstra.
