Top 3 Game Performers

1 Point – Darius Garland

Credit where it’s due, Darius Garland is having a strong April. He had yet another 20+ game on good efficiency and actually had a solid game defensively. Granted, the Thunder guards are less than ideal but hey, at least it’s something.

2 Points – Kevin Love

While still on a minutes restriction, 23 minutes tonight, Kevin Love is making an impact. Putting up figures that he used to do in 30+, Love again had a double-double, with 18 points and 11 rebounds but also had two assists and two steals. Love is moving better than he has in a while, and his ability to play off of Dean Wade has really made the offense more dynamic.

3 Points – Collin Sexton

He went 9-10 from the free-throw line while putting up 27 points, on good efficiency, while putting in four assists as well. Collin Sexton’s ability to generate offense is a great gift and against bad teams like The Thunder, the defensive liabilities don’t seem so prevalent.
