Scotty Barnes continues to struggle in decisive moments
Statistics line Scottie Barnes (10 points on 3/8 shooting, 11 rebounds, 8 assists and 3 blocks) is interesting, but once again in the “money time” the impact of the winger was felt.
With about thirty seconds left, Thunder has the ball in hand to equalize or go forward (99-101). it is Chet Holmgren who inherits the leather and tries to make a difference against Scotty Barnes, then, who resists his shoulder strike and rises at the right moment to tackle his opponent and finally win the ball back!
OKC is forced to foul and send Jamal Sheed free throws. Good idea as the latter misses his two attempts…except Scotty Barnes is still there on the offensive rebound.
With this new possession, Immanuel Quickley is sent to the penalty line and he does not tremble. Toronto’s final win (101-103) on the floor of the current champion. Darko Rajaković’s team has won its fourth in a row, to place in 3rd place in the East with 29 wins and 19 losses.
Best clutch blocker, second offensive rebounder
Scott is the Defensive Player of the Year Ja’Kobe Walter openly assures. “He’s an All-Star. He makes big plays, he plays hard… Tonight it’s this decisive block and this rebound on a missed shot. »
This is Scotty Barnes’ 8th clutch block (five points or less in last five minutes). In the rankings, he overtook Jaren Jackson Jr. (7) and we remember that he conspicuously contrasted LeBron James beginning of December, end on a streak of matches with 10 points or more you “king”.
This double sequence against the Thunder illustrates the strength of the Toronto All-Star very well, as in addition to being the best blocker in the NBA this season in “money time”, he is the second best offensive rebounder, with 13 catches in these situations. The only one that works better in the sector is Alperen Sengun (14).
