Rockets’ Austin Rivers: Scores 11 in 25 minutes

Rivers recorded 11 points (4-10 FG, 3-6 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists and one steal in 25 minutes during Thursday’s 111-98 Game 2 win against the Thunder.

Rivers was feeling it from beyond the arc and added an impressive dunk for good measure. He played mistake-free basketball, committing zero turnovers while contributing across every category except blocks. With Russell Westbrook (quad) still sidelined, Rivers is being asked to initiate offense a bit more than usual of late. Still, he remains a somewhat inconsistent performer, as evidenced by the fact that he managed just four points (on 20.0 percent shooting), four boards and two dimes in 19 minutes during Tuesday’s Game 1.
