Lu Dort on Ajay Mitchell: “He’s really comfortable. That’s the big thing. Every time he has the ball, I always expect him to make a big play. I’ve seen that since training camp and the year before that.”

The Thunder being 5-0 having shot only 28.8 percent from 3 so far is kind of bonkers. For reference, per Basketball Reference, a team winning five straight games having shot that poorly from 3 has only happened three other times since 2021-22 outside of the months of March/April.
