Dennis powers through Clippers in the clutch:
Schroder came up big in a stunning performance against the Clippers on December 22nd. It was Paul George’s first return to OKC since being traded in the offseason and Schroder caused some damage.
It was once again a game where the OKC Thunder were down by 18 points but climbed back to win. Schroder’s extraordinary fourth quarter where he scored 16 of his 28 points came made a significant difference.
He hit shots late in the game when it was all on the line and continued to put pressure on the Clippers with poise and tenacity.
Two pivotal shots – one mid-range jumper and a 3-point basket in the last two and a half minutes got OKC over the hump.
As he blew past the Clippers, Schroder added six assists, five rebounds, a steal, as well as draining four 3-pointers.
The guard’s impeccable play on the week of this game, helping OKC with a 4-0 record resulted in the German winning Western Conference Player of the Week for the first time.
