WASHINGTON, D.C. — Paul George was struggling, but the Thunder's offense wasn't. That was a rarity in recent seasons with one star on the floor for the Thunder.
What a difference Dennis Schröder has made in eight games, and what a difference Schröder made in the Thunder's two-game road sweep of Charlotte and Washington.
On the east coast swing, Schröder averaged 18.5 points on 50 percent from the field while shooting 4-of-9 from 3-point range. In the Thunder's 134-111 win Friday in Washington, Schröder was at his efficient best.
With the score tied 30-30, neither team playing was playing much defense.
