Mark Daigneault explains PJ Washington's scoring outburst in Thunder's second round series against the Dallas Mavericks.
"PJ Washington," OKC Thunder superstar Shai Gilgeous-Alexander said with a grin and a shake of his heads "We have to turn his water off," the superstar added, nearly chuckling at how good the Charlotte Hornets transplant has been for the Dallas Mavericks this season.
Heading into a hostile Game 4, with their season on the line, OKC Thunder sideline pacer Mark Daigneault was asked about the red-hot forward and how the team plans to stop this scoring outburst that serves as an outlier to his typical output. Though, the Thunder bench boss did alert the assembled media to the fact Washington did not just pour in 27 "game plan points," many of his bucks came within the flow of the game with transition buckets, cuts and post-ups. Cleaning up their defense eliminates Washington's fantastic team to a solid outing for the forward.
