Ryan Anderson got hot in Friday’s road loss, hitting 8-of-14 from the field for 18 points, six rebounds, two triples and a steal in 33 minutes.

The Thunder clawed their way back into the series but Anderson was able to have a nice game. The minutes were there for him in this one even f he wasn’t part of Houston’s closing unit. Still, this performance seems like a bit of an over-achievement for Anderson considering his poor finish to the regular season. Him getting hot would be absolutely massive for the Rockets’ postseason chances but we’d like to see him do it again before hopping back on the bandwagon.
