The Thunder’s Summer League team was down 21 points at halftime. It’s go-to playmaker Daniel Hamilton hadn’t shot it well. Things weren’t looking too good on Thursday as the Memphis Grizzlies racked up buckets and stymied the Thunder’s offense.
But Hamilton, the do-it-all guard who was named to the All-NBA G League West Team in 2017-18 for the Oklahoma City Blue did what he’s done many, many times before – compete. With a dizzying array of defensive rebounds that led to sprinting runouts, Hamilton helped spark an 11-0 run to start the second half and in the fourth quarter, broke down the defense for two lobs to teammates, alley-oop dunks for PJ Dozier and Terrance Ferguson.
