The 6-3, 200-pound guard joins Luol Deng, November?s recipient, as this season?s first two winners of the monthly award. Gordon appeared in all 17 of Chicago?s December games and averaged a team-high 23.1 ppg, 3.1 apg and 2.8 rpg in 29.8 mpg. He also shot .467 from the floor, including .395 from three-point range, and .924 from the free throw line. He had 13 games of 20+ points, including eight-straight outings of 20+. He led the Bulls in scoring nine times and in assists two times, helping Chicago to a 14-3 record in December ? the Eastern Conference?s best record in the month and the franchise?s most wins in a single month since going 15-1 in November of 1996. Gordon?s month was highlighted by his career-high 40-point performance in just 31:48 of action in Chicago?s 109-103 win over the Miami Heat on Dec. 27. In the contest, he shot 11-of-17 from the floor, including 1-of-3 from downtown, and 17-of-19 from the free throw line (both season-highs). He also added five assists and three rebounds. In Chicago?s 121-94 pounding of the Philadelphia 76ers, Gordon poured in a game-high 31 points (9-16 FG, 2-5 3FG, 11-12 FT) with three boards and two assists in 33 minutes. On the season, Gordon is currently averaging a team-best and career-high 20.2 ppg (23rd in NBA), 3.3 apg and 2.7 rpg in 29.5 mpg.
