For the second time this season, Oklahoma City Thunder’s Ajay Mitchell set a new career high with 35 points in a 128-97 win over the Memphis Grizzlies. While Mitchell has often been the second-leading scorer since the Thunder lost three starters due to long-term injures, All-Star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander finished with 28 points on 11-for-22 shooting.
Mitchell addressed his approach during his postgame media availability.
“I was just trying to be aggressive out there; see what the defense would give us, and just try to play the game,” Mitchell said. “Every night is going to be different. So, I just go into every game with the same mindset, going out there and playing, and not worrying about anything else.
