Thunder's Luguentz Dort: Another dissapointing performance
Rotowire
Dort chipped in three points (1-5 FG, 1-5 3Pt) and four rebounds in 21 minutes during Thursday's 108-91 loss to the Pacers in Game 6 of the NBA Finals.
Dort was a non-factor in the loss, continuing what has been a modest yet underwhelming postseason. He has now scored single digits in nine of the past 12 games, posing very little threat on the offensive end. Game 7 will be in Oklahoma City on Sunday, with both teams looking to end what has been an enthralling NBA Finals.
Thunder's Luguentz Dort: Pops for 12 points in Game 5 win
Rotowire
Dort finished with 12 points (4-11 FG, 4-10 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist and three steals in 38 minutes during Wednesday's 124-94 win over the Timberwolves in Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals.
Dort tallied double-digit scoring for the first time in his past six games, while also matching his playoff-high with three steals. Despite averaging just 8.3 points per game over the past 12 games, Dort remains a key piece for the Thunder, particularly on the defensive end. The Thunder will now head home for Game 1 of the NBA Finals, where a matchup against either the Pacers or the Knicks awaits.
Dort recorded five points (2-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt), one rebound, one block and two steals in 28 minutes during Tuesday's 114-88 victory over Minnesota in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals.
Dort has been terrific in the postseason so far on the defensive end, but he took a backseat on the offensive end again Tuesday. The Thunder put this game away early, and they had a balanced attack from their bench unit. Dort's shot has eluded him in the postseason, as he's shooting 33.7 percent from the field and 28.2 percent from beyond the arc through 12 games.
Thunder's Luguentz Dort: Sinks four triples in victory
Rotowire
Dort notched 12 points (4-8 FG, 4-8 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist in 28 minutes during Tuesday's 112-105 win over the Nuggets in Game 5 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
Dort went just 1-for-4 from three-point range across the first three quarters. However, the defensive-minded swingman hit three clutch triples in the first six minutes of the fourth, helping the Thunder pull within striking distance down the stretch. Dort has shot just 32.6 percent from the field in the Western Conference Semifinals, during which he has averaged 9.4 points, 2.4 rebounds and 1.0 assists across 27.6 minutes per contest.
