He actually didn't seem to play a whole lot, which is... troublesome in and of itself.
He finished with 8 points, 6 rebounds, and 1 assist, according to Dave King.

Other noteworthy observations:
Plumlee pulled down 7 rebounds while scoring 12 points. At least six of his points were on alley-oop jams from Eric Bledsoe.
Look no further than Shavlik Randolph doing a Channing Frye impersonation with a couple of knockdown threes (2 for 2 on the day) from the angles in game action. This after Randolph was killing it in warmups with several made threes in a row using a fluid release that appears very repeatable. Seriously, if Randolph truly has added the three-pointer to his repertoire then he's just made himself more valuable. Shav led all players with 9 rebounds, and added 13 points and 2 assists.
Eric Bledsoe (16 points, 10 assists, 6 rebounds, 3 steals, 2 blocks) showed off his all-around game. He was locked in defensively for the first 10-15 minutes of the scrimmage before taking his foot off the gas after his side took a 19-point lead. He appears to be in incredible shape and ready for a break out season.
Isaiah Thomas (11 points, 10 assists, 7 rebounds) was highly effective as well for the winning Black team in the first half, even though he didn't look like he was taking the scrimmage very seriously.

I like the way that sounds.... considering the.. unintentional emotional cost already invested... this is the only way to go. Consider me driving this wagon......

You're only allowed to use that once per year. I think you've already used up your allocation this year. ;)
He's probably used up through 2017.

When it comes to lousy puns on Len's name, I think we can tolerate a few smart Alex.

OK, maybe not.

That sounds about like how a re-heated foot-juice sandwich smells.....

Almost forgot this little gem from the scrimmage - Isaiah Thomas' no-look, over-the-shoulder pass to Zoran Dragic early in the game :
