Rookie Wire released its latest NBA power rankings this past Monday and the Oklahoma City Thunder bump up four spots to 26th overall:
“The Thunder went 3-1 last week and posted some impressive wins during that span. They registered their seventh 15-point comeback of the season in a win over the Portland Trail Blazers and then knocked off the Dallas Mavericks in overtime two nights later without Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. Tre Mann had a career-high 29 points in that win while Lu Dort continues to step up, as well.”
The Thunder’s three wins came against the Portland Trail Blazers — both at home and on the road — and the Dallas Mavericks. The one loss came against the Sacramento Kings.
During the week, Lu Dort led the team in scoring with 23.7 points; Aleksej Pokusevski led the team in rebounding with nine rebounds; Josh Giddey led the team in assists with 6.3 assists.
