Enes Kanter’s Top Five Games With OKC
By Evan Riggs
March 8 vs. Toronto Raptors
Just days after the Oklahoma City Thunder lost a buzzer-beater in Chicago, they needed a quick start to get some momentum back on their side. Kanter was instrumental in doing just that.
He finished with 21 points, 12 rebounds, four assists and one block for the game. Perhaps most importantly for the Thunder, Kanter carried the offensive load early with 13 points in the first quarter, which helped build the confidence of his teammates.
Two of Kanter’s biggest weaknesses are his passing and defense, and he showed some ability in both of those areas during the game.

His four assists tied a season-high, and he had one blocked shot. He also limited Jonas Valanciunas to just 10 points on 4-of-11 shooting.
As usual, Kanter was very good offensively, going 9-of-14 from the field while showing off his fantastic footwork, and his ability to finish at the rim.
His contributions were instrumental in the Thunder’s 108-104 win, a very close game that showed that Kanter can be a definite factor in helping this team achieve victory.
