OKC Thunder blow out the Kings in Sacramento: grades
By Sinjin Snope
Best OKC Reserve:
Another game, another night for Dennis Schroder in this spot. He was sensational off of the OKC bench once again, this time to the tune of 24 points and nine assists. He had the highlight of the evening with an amazing no-look alley-oop pass to Nerlens Noel. Give him the 6th man trophy already, please.

Bogdan was the only true offensive threat tonight for the Sacramento Kings. The young guard scored 23 points and made a couple of very nice plays. He has a promising future in this league in this scribe’s opinion.
His offseason should get interesting as the Kings offered him an extension on his rookie contract but he didn’t accept the offer (yet). Sacramento still owns the right to match.
The question moving forward is whether the team can afford to keep both Bogdanovic and Hield as one will always be coming off the bench.
