Golden State Warriors Jordan Bell saw the most Postseason minutes against the Houston Rockets, and he made the most of them.
Jordan Bell stepped up his game and showed that he learned from his mistakes last week. Bell caught an early foul in Game 2 after attempting to guard James Harden, who simply pushed into him drawing the personal foul and sending Bell back to the bench.
In Game 6, Bell saw the floor for 21 minutes, put up just three points, but his Defense Effort was more important. He pulled down 6 rebounds, one assist, and one blocked shot The six rebounds were a career-high for the former Oregon Duck B ell has changed his game and found himself getting into the action, rather than watching it from the bench.
Over the first two rounds, Bell was nearly non-existent, but with their season on the line, Bell was asked to guard one of the best in the NBA in Harden, and he helped Golden State to a win and extended the NBA Playoffs to a Game 7 in the Western Conference.

Injuries have pushed Jordan Bell closer to the Starting Lineup this postseason and with Andre Iguodala and James Loney both nursing injuries – Loney has a sore left toe, Iguodala has not been 100 percent throughout the postseason for the Golden State Warriors.
Bell’s season started well. He posted a career-high against the Los Angeles Lakers on December 22nd with a double-double scoring 13 and pulling down 10 rebounds. His season was then sidetracked with a sprained right ankle that saw him fall out of the lineup completely.
He has returned since to not seeing the floor time he did before the injury. However, Bell has not shown any frustration through the final few months of the season.
Now, with everything on the line, Jordan Bell could be in a position to earn a start in Game 7 of the Western Conference Finals. (6pm PT, TNT)
