Experienced American John Fields (205-F/C-1988, agency: Octagon Europe) had an amazing evening in the last round for Warriors and that's him to receive a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 21.
The 35-year old power forward had a double-double of 28 points and eighteen rebounds, while his team beat Buffaloes (#2, 10-3) 95-90. The game was between two of the league's top four teams.
