. PG. Oklahoma City Thunder. CHRIS PAUL. A

Chris Paul was quietly pretty good in tonight’s game. He led the OKC Thunder with a plus 17 in the box score. CP3 also had a double-double with 16 points and 11 assists. He probably needed to be more assertive early in this game if OKC wanted to win.

Oklahoma City Thunder. SHAI GILGEOUS-ALEXANDER. B. . G/F

Solid game from Shai Gilgeous-Alexander tonight coming off the heels of his best game as a pro. He scored 21 points, had 6 boards and added 6 assists. Another nice stat line for the second year star in the making. Although I wish he would be more aggressive at times.

D. . G/F. Oklahoma City Thunder. TERRANCE FERGUSON

Forgettable game from Terrance Ferguson tonight as that has become the theme from him for most of the season. He has had brilliant defensive games in recent memory but tonight was far from great. Ferg finished the night with just 2 points.

PF. Oklahoma City Thunder. DANILO GALLINARI. A-.

Good game from Danilo Gallinari tonight. He was the only offense the OKC Thunder seemed to have for many stretches of this game and he was relatively efficient throughout the evening. He finished with 23 points and nailed 4 threes.

C. Oklahoma City Thunder. STEVEN ADAMS. N/A.

Steven Adams suffered an aforementioned knee contusion early in this game. We hope for his speedy recovery.
