Player Grades: Thunder cruise past Pacers in team effort
Isaiah Joe has been the perfect spark plug for the Thunder all season long. The offense is struggling? Put Isaiah Joe in and he’ll get us a three. In this game, Joe knocked down seven threes off the bench and scored 23 points, marking his fourth game with over 20 points this season.
With Tyrese Haliburton sidelined for a couple of weeks with an injury, rookie Andrew Nembhard has to step up to fill his shoes. In this game, he did just that, scoring 18 points and dishing out seven assists, both of which led his team. Indiana seems to be in good hands with Chet Holmgren’s Gonzaga teammate.
The Thunder will now head back on the road to face Sacramento on Friday as they look to keep the win streak alive.
