OKC Thunder player grades: Streak hits 5 in-a-row with loss to Cavs

OKC Thunder starting lineup grades:

Maledon got off to an impressive start scoring the Thunder’s first five points. He did a great job of driving and played smart in order to draw fouls.

But throughout the course of the game, he struggled offensively going for 6-17 from the field. The youngster continues to grow and shows huge confidence to lead.

He finished with 14 points, four assists, a steal, and two rebounds.

Moses Brown was a force under the rim. He recorded a double-double with 13 points and 11 rebounds. He’s had some quiet performances over the last few games but there’s no doubt we know how good he is and his potential as a future Thunder star, as proven by his new full-time contract.

Svi finished with 10 points, four rebounds, two assists, and a steal. He was a key reason for the Thunder’s 13 made shots from deep. He hustled and continues to build chemistry in this ever-changing OKC Thunder squad.

Kenrich Williams was on fire from downtown, knocking down a pair of threes to add to his 12 points, nine assists (tying his career-high), seven rebounds, and two steals.

He played a major role across the floor and was arguably the Thunder’s best player in the game outside of Ty Jerome, in terms of accuracy and consistency across the stat sheet.

Aleksej Pokusevski finished the game with 10 points, six rebounds, and two assists. He made three out of 12 of his shots.

Though a highlight of his night was an impressive step-back three in the first quarter that got Michael Cage saying “oh no he didn’t”
