Player Grades: OKC Thunder third quarter malaise leads to Pelicans victory in final pre-break game
D. . SG. Oklahoma City Thunder. TERRANCE FERGUSON
Terrance Ferguson has been spectacular playing well above expectations for the OKC Thunder. But, on this night he wasn’t able to provide any type of production on either side of the hardwood. Perhaps he displayed his youth in this match with his lack of focus. Certainly, having to guard the likes of Jrue Holiday and E’Twaun Moore is no simple defensive assignment but those were two of the three highest scoring Pelicans in the contest.
He finished the game hitting just two of his nine shot attempts (two of seven from deep). No need to fret Thunder Nation, he’ll be back focused and ready when the team resumes playing post break.
TFerg made a nice defensive play deflecting a pass late in the second quarter which resulted in a transition 3-pointer by Westbrook.
