The 27 minutes Andrew Bynum logged Friday in Atlanta was the second-highest game total of the season. And he wanted more.
Bynum twice tried to wave off substitutions against the Hawks when he was in such a rhythm that he scored 20 points and had 13 rebounds, but coach Mike Brown waved off Bynum's attempt to stay in the game.
"That's great; He wants to stay in the game," Brown said. "(But) I played him too long during those stretches anyway. I like his competitive fire and his want to stay in the game and all that, but he needed to come out."
