Philadelphia 76ers forward Kelly Oubre Jr. has always said he wants to be like water. It means he wants to go with the flow and do whatever it is coach Nick Nurse and the Sixers ask of him whether he comes off the bench or he starts.
He provided a big lift in Monday's 121-108 win over the Charlotte Hornets when he delivered nine points in the fourth quarter on his way to 19 for the game and helped the Sixers get the job done. He also pulled down nine rebounds and dished out four assists in the victory as he did a little bit of everything out on the floor.
