Hits and Flops: Los Angeles Lakers vs Oklahoma City Thunder

Hit - Josh Hart

Josh Hart was terrific for the Lakers

The player of the game was Josh Hart. Josh Hart has been struggling to shoot the basketball lately but his attitude to this match was perfect and much needed.

Josh Hart had a double-double in the game finishing with 12 points and 10 boards. He shot 3-6 from the field and 2-4 from beyond the arc.

But his game was not about stats. The effort that he displayed since coming on as a substitute was just contagious. He changed the entire landscape of the match after the Thunder had started the game in a dominating manner.

Josh Hart finished the match with a net rating of +23. He was everywhere on the court battling with Steven Adams for rebounds or with Russell Westbrook for loose balls. This kind of effort is what we expect from Hart on a nightly basis.

He will be hoping to get over his shooting slump and contribute immensely to the Lakers going forward.
