Westbrook!

Big three point shot, aggressive drives to the basket. and good decision-making during the comeback.

Beal had 10 of our last 15 points, going 3/5 from the floor and 4/4 from the line.

But I think I'll go with Ish. Not only did he have 15 points on 7/11 shooting, but he also had 7 assists and 8 rebounds with just 1 turnover.

Yeah, timely buckets, nice passes, some key rebounds (8 total!) and the defensive play of the game snatching that ball away from what would have been a guaranteed bucket for Zeller.

Ish got my vote.

Ish seemed to come up with a big bucket every time we were either on the ropes or needed to get a big bucket. Beal was huge, but as we all say, can't ignore half a game and he was still 8-27 even if he was great down the stretch. Westbrook probably deserves it, but I've hated on Ish enough this season, so for a rock solid game in a massively important game, I'll give him the nod.

Agreed! He also had incredible defensive plays against Zeller and Bridges in the last 5 minutes.

Torn between Ish and Lopez. Gave it to Ish because he hasn't won before.

I want to give it to the team. They, collectively, wanted to win this and each did their part.

I gave it to Ish over Lopez. He played well, but I think he also sped up the tempo of the game - which helped tire out Charlotte.

They really should track "hockey assists" like that. Maybe they do?
