OKC Thunder Best Reserve:

B-. . PG. Oklahoma City Thunder. DENNIS SCHRODER

Dennis Schroder started out hot with a couple of nice baskets and great passes. But much like his OKC Thunder teammates, his game fell apart after that 10-point first half lead. Schroder finished the night with 7 points and 2 assists off the bench.

Best Opponent:

A. . SG. Portland Trailblazers. CJ MCCOLLUM

More from Thunder News

CJ McCollum led a red-hot Trail Blazers shooting night, on his way to a game-high 33 points. He simply could not be stopped at all this evening and hit big shot after big shot.

When he and Damian Lillard have it going on like they did tonight, OKC might be in serious trouble yet again in the postseason.

Final Thoughts

  • The officials were awful for both teams tonight. All I ask for is some consistency.
  • Tough to win playoff games shooting as poorly as OKC has so far this series.
  • Portland has played with much more urgency and fire in these two games. Hopefully, the Thunder can get their mojo back in Oklahoma City. If they don’t, it will be an early offseason once again for this team
  • Jerami Grant needs to score for this team to be successful. Tough night again from him,
  • Zac Collins should not try to fight Markieff Morris. That’s all I’m saying.
