The Thunder were under-manned against the Memphis Grizzlies on Saturday night and were expected to lose by a decent margin. The Grizzlies have been tearing through the Western Conference and have been a difficult match-up for the Thunder in recent years.
Luguentz Dort put those doubts aside and played one of his best games of the season. Dort scored an efficient 24 points and he played stifling defense on Dillon Brooks, the Grizzlies’ streaky scoring wing. The numbers behind his performance were impressive but it was how Dort put his big night together which impressed me.
