Best OKC Reserve:
A. . G/F. Oklahoma City Thunder. HAMIDOU DIALLO
Solid game off of the OKC Thunder bench for Hamidou Diallo tonight. He scored 11 points and snagged 6 rebounds in one of his better games since returning from his elbow injury. Hopefully, players such as Diallo get more minutes and continue to develop for the future of this team.
Best Opponent:
F/C. Miami Heat. BAM ADEBAYO. A.
What a leap Bam Adebayo has made in terms of his level of play. The young big man out of Kentucky has blossomed into a perennial all-star and he proved it with his stellar performance tonight against the OKC Thunder. Bam scored 21 points and grabbed 8 rebounds. He will be a dominant force in this league for years to come.
The OKC Thunder are back in action tomorrow night as they host the Portland Trail Blazers who will also be on the second night of a back-to-back.
