OKC Thunder grades from loss in revenge match versus Milwaukee Bucks

Best OKC Thunder reserve performance:

While this honor could have easily go to Hamidou Diallo, the play of Isaiah Roby was the best off the bench against the Bucks.

Roby had 10 points, seven rebounds, and two assists on a night when only he, Kenrich Williams, and Diallo had a positive impact on the box score against the Bucks.

Where Roby won over Diallo was that he was more efficient, going 4-of-5 from the floor and 2-of-3 from deep.

The one-handed bounce pass through traffic that set up a Dort two at the rim had the commentators comparing it to Magic Johnson.

Best opponent performance:

The man who has revolutionized the point forward position along with LeBron James showed that he is going to continue to be a force in the league for a long time.

His 29 points are impressive but it is the impact he had with his 19 rebounds, starting the offense the second he touched the ball in the back half. His eight assists really hurt the Thunder.

In closing:

The fact that the Thunder took a win last time out shows how competitive this team is. The Bucks are a stronger team with a structure that compliments their strengths. The Thunder showed that they are going to be very good in a few years.
