“I just tried to stay positive and stay aggressive the whole time,” Farmar said.

He was, scoring a season-high 15 points. He made a season-high six field goals out of nine attempts. He was three for four from three-point range.

“I’ve been having some good looks the last couple of weeks,” Farmar said. “They haven’t been going in for me, going in and out, a little short, a little long.
