Ajay Mitchell had the shooting night of the season in Oklahoma City's 128–97 win over Memphis. The Belgian put up 35 points on 14-of-20 shooting (4-of-7 from three) in 30 minutes, adding 5 assists in a performance that underlined why Mitchell belongs in NBA rotation play. That kind of efficiency — 70 per cent overall, crisp decision-making from distance — is the kind of night that reminds you why a player from Belgian basketball can compete at this level.
