Solid game from Chris Paul tonight but he didn’t really get things going until late in the game once again. CP3 scored 14 points and added 6 assists. He has been great all year, but tonight it would have been nice to see him a tad more assertive.

Not the best game from SGA tonight. He never got into a good rhythm offensively and had a tough time with the zone Miami was playing all night long. Alexander finished the night with 18 points but it was really a lackluster performance from the OKC Thunder’s budding star.

Ferg left the game with an illness at some point in the first half. Let’s hope he feels better soon.

The only OKC Thunder player to really have his shooting in order tonight was Danilo Gallinari. He splashed 7 threes from the great beyond en route to 26 points. He makes scoring the basketball look effortless in games like tonight.

Solid night from Nerlens Noel considering he was making a start for Adams in his first game back from injury. Although he hit his second 3-pointer of his career, he was just okay after that point as he finished with 10 points and 6 rebounds.
