Kanter scored 10 points (3-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT) and added 12 rebounds with one assists across just 18 minutes during Sunday’s blowout win over the Warriors in Game 3.

Kanter tied his series-high in minutes played as the Thunder built a 38-point lead heading into the third quarter, and he responded with his first double-double since the opening game of the postseason. Kanter is clearly not a huge part of the gameplan this round as both teams have elected to play small-ball for a large portion of the series, but he is still capable of putting up numbers in a hurry when he sees enough time on the floor.
