Let’s take a look at the performance of the players from the Thunder and Kings in today’s game.

1. Mitchell still performed well today. He committed fouls at the beginning and scored mid-range shots. His recent form is really good.

2. Harten performed very well at the start of the second quarter today. He had an obvious advantage under the basket and scored 6 consecutive points to help the Thunder overtake the score. And he even scored 20 points and 10 rebounds before the half was finished. The Kings' defensive strategy failed miserably.

3. Caruso is also very critical. Although he doesn't score much, every point he scores is obtained when the team encounters difficulties.

4. Alexander has really transformed. It used to be said that he relied on free throws, but now even if he is not given free throws, he can still score. His mid-range shooting is really very stable. In addition, his judgment of the situation on the court is also very accurate, and he can quickly seize scoring opportunities and score layups.

5. DeRozan also performed very well today. He scored 3 3-pointers in the first half, but if the Kings want to win, they need him to score more points..

6. LaVine has deteriorated too seriously. He was the Bulls' star player before. After coming to the Kings, the team wanted him to take the lead. Unexpectedly, he turned himself into a role player.

7. Eubanks had a good start today. He made a mid-range shot and scored 6 points in a row to help the team cling to the score.

8. Westbrook's performance today was so explosive. Every time the Thunder wanted to widen the point difference, Westbrook would hit a 3-pointer. The team trailed by up to 12 points in the first quarter. Westbrook hit 2 3-pointers and a mid-range shot, scoring 8 points in a row to help the team catch up to 1 point. It was so exciting. Without Westbrook in this game, the game would have been defeated in the first quarter. Unexpectedly, Westbrook's condition this year is even better than last year. The Kings are so lucky to get him.

But it is also very regrettable for Westbrook. It can still maintain such an excellent competitive state, but the problem is that the team is really not good. No matter how good Westbrook is, it cannot be driven. This team has been bad for several years in a row. It is not something Westbrook can change, but as Westbrook said, every game will be taken seriously and go all out. As long as you have a clear conscience, this is Westbrook!

Megatron! The Kings battle the Thunder, Westbrook’s 24+6+9 is the best on the team, but it’s a pity that the Kings can’t carry him
