The 2021 NBA Finals MVP had 21 points, 19 rebounds and seven assists in the game. 

As for the Thunder, they fell to 6-9 on the season in their first 17 games, but with such a young roster and clearly being in rebuilding mode, their record is actually a bit surprising to start the season. 

They are far from being the worst team in the NBA right now.
