Alex Caruso - Tallies three steals in loss Caruso chipped in two points (0-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and three steals over 24 minutes during Tuesday's 97-81 loss to the Bucks.
Impact Caruso accumulated three steals in the loss, although failed to produce anything else of note. When healthy, Caruso has typically played a limited role off the bench for the Thunder, highlighting the depth of their roster. Unfortunately, his on-court impact is generally far greater than the impact he has on the scoresheet.

Jalen Williams - Balanced performance despite loss Williams registered 18 points (8-20 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists, three blocks and two steals across 34 minutes during Tuesday's 97-81 loss to the Bucks.
Impact Williams cobbled together another strong two-way performance, albeit in a losing effort. The Bucks were far too good for the Thunder, a disappointing end to what had been a fantastic In-Season Tournament for the team from Oklahoma City. Despite the loss, the Thunder remain arguably the team to beat in the West, and Williams should continue to serve as a key piece on both ends of the floor.

Isaiah Hartenstein - Double-doubles in loss Hartenstein posted 16 points (6-11 FG, 4-4 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists and one steal in 32 minutes during Tuesday's 97-81 loss in the NBA Cup Championship to the Bucks.
Impact Hartenstein has now posted a double-double in nine of his 11 appearances this season. The 26-year-old continues to operate as Oklahoma City's only true big man with Chet Holmgren (hip) out. Hartenstein has capitalized by averaging a career-high 12.3 rebounds per contest.

Impact Gilgeous-Alexander's 21 points were his fewest in a game since Nov. 4. However, his inefficient shooting was even more uncharacteristic, as the star guard is posting 51.0/34.0/86.4 shooting splits this season. To cap off Gilgeous-Alexander's poor performance, he recorded more turnovers (three) than assists (two).
