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.
