Giddey erupted
Before this game, Hayward averaged 4 points and 2 rebounds per game, and in the absence of Alexander, Hayward also stood up, scoring 13 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist on 4-of-7 shooting, dominated the team's reversal in the second quarter, he still had a lot of gas in the tank, just sacrificing data for the team, I believe that after the playoffs begin, Hayward can play his role
In Alexander's absence, Jayway shot a game, but his overall performance was not satisfactory, 9 of 23 shots, 3 of 10 three-pointers got 23 points, 4 rebounds, 10 assists and 2 steals.
Giddey also played a very good performance in this campaign, with 32 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal in 12 of 20 shots, Giddey has played a good performance recently, his ability is not to say, but for the sake of the team also sacrificed data, in the offseason Giddey is facing an early contract extension, I don't know how big a contract the Thunder will give him, too much talent will also make the team troubled, and Isaiah Joe scored 17 points and 6 assists off the bench.
Jalen Green is still eye-catching
After talking about the Thunder, let's talk about the Rockets, this game Van Jordan shot 5 of 12 from the field, 1 of 7 from three-point range and got 13 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists. The Rockets have been able to play such a good record recently, and to be honest, Amen Thompson and Green are the key, and Amen has played very well-rounded since he entered the starting lineup.
Amen shot 10 of 18 from the field, 0 of 1 from three-point range and got 25 points, 15 rebounds and 4 assists, his template is Ben Simmons, he is as athletic as Simmons, and very versatile, but he also has no three-point ability, I hope he can develop a three-point shooting in the future, otherwise his ceiling will not be too high. Green finished with 37 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists on 14-of-24 shooting and 7-of-11 three-pointers.
Green still plays too selfless a lot of the time, he should be selfish, he should seize the opportunity to get the ball and play alone, after all, the stability of other players is not good, as a supergiant should carry the team on his shoulders when he is behind, Smith got 16 points and 3 rebounds on 3-of-8 shooting, Dillon scored 18 points and 4 assists, speaking of which, what do you want to say about the current Rockets and Thunder?
