This is one of the few games where KD truly dominated throughout, carrying his team with both determined demeanor and beautiful basketball actions - If you missed the game last night (OKC vs Houston), the video clip may provide you with a sense of what KD did in the game.
KD scored 33 points on 11-17 shooting with 13 rebounds, 5 assists, a steal and a blocked shot in 38 minutes.
Additionally, this OKC team is beginning to show a lot of maturity -- Without Russell Westbrook, OKC's third, fourth and fifth options all made impactful plays in the critical situations. Perkins was incredible when matching up with D12; Jackson, Ibaka, and Lamb never blinked in a huge game. After watching OKC against a few good teams this year, I think this is a better team than the Finals of two years ago. When Russell returns, they may have all the necessary ingredients to beat the Heat or the Pacers in the postseason.
