Semaj Christon makes impact as Cameron Payne's return looms

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – A day before Cameron Payne made his season debut in the D-League, Semaj Christon has one of his most impactful performances with Thunder.

Against the Bucks on Monday, Christon scored the first seven points of the fourth quarter for the Thunder as Russell Westbrook rested. It was a critical stretch considering the Thunder gave up a 10-2 run to close the third quarter.

Christon was the Thunder's top scorer off the bench in the 98-94 loss, netting a career-high 11 points on 5-of-6 shooting in just 12 minutes.
