PLAYER PERFORMANCE
San Antonio Spurs
An absolutely suffocating defensive performance drove his value, as he held opponents to just 1/10 (10%) shooting when he was the nearest defender. This lockdown effort powered a +6.7 Defense credit and was the clear highlight of his game.

Poised and efficient playmaking drove his performance, as he orchestrated the offense with 6 assists against only 1 turnover, well below his 3.9 average. This, combined with solid defense where he held opponents to 5/15 shooting, led to a strong +13.3 Offense credit.

Oklahoma City Thunder

While he was a factor on the glass with 9 rebounds and held opponents to 6/15 shooting, his offensive game was a drag on his overall value. He struggled with inefficiency (3/8 FG) and ball security, committing 3 turnovers, which was well above his season average of 1.3.

A brutal shooting performance defined his game, as he went 1/10 from the field and 0/5 from three-point range. This inefficiency, combined with 2 turnovers, resulted in a significant -5.7 Offense component despite holding his matchups to 2/7 shooting.
A highly productive bench outing was driven by across-the-board contributions that exceeded his season norms in points (10), rebounds (5), and assists (3).

A stellar two-way performance was the story, as he generated significant value on both ends of the floor. He was a lockdown defender, holding opponents to 2/9 (22%) shooting to fuel a +8.4 Defense credit, while also contributing 11 points and 2 steals.
