Thunder's Jaylen Hoard: Paces Thunder with 23 points

Hoard notched 23 points (8-17 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 36 minutes during Wednesday's 137-101 loss to Utah.

On the heels of his massive 24-point, 21-rebound performance against Portland on Tuesday, Hoard put up big numbers again with a team-leading 23 points against Utah in the second game of the back-to-back set. The Wake Forest product logged his third start in four games for the injury-ravaged Thunder. Hoard figures to get plenty of opportunity to produce over the final days of the regular season given the Thunder's injury woes.
