RE: Bradley in the 4th
In the post-game Nellie talked about why he pulled Bradley early in the second half (don't remember exactly when). he said that when he has a dead team, he expects the guy off the bench to bring a lot of energy and be a "spark plug." He said Bradley, instead of doing that, "looked like he had played 30 minutes." So he said he "didn't wait long" to pull him.
But he also said that he "doesn't hold grudges," which is why he put him back with 1:something left in the game, up ten. And he praised him for deflecting the pass that led to the steal and the Walker layup. He said that Bradley leads the team in deflections per minute, which is a stat they track.
And finally, he said that Fortson was simply more effective when he was in the game. He had nice words for the Potato.
But to better answer your question, madape, I think that Bradley's only PT in the 4th (certainly his only PT in the late 4th) was that one possession where he got the deflection. He went back to the bench right after that.
