NBA FINALS

Former ASU standout Lu Dort helping Thunder in NBA Finals with versatile skills

Lu Dort

Oklahoma City’s Lu Dort, center, is helping the Thunder in a variety of ways during the NBA Finals.

TEMPE � Although some of the NBA’s best have played for the Oklahoma City Thunder, from Kevin Durant to James Harden to Russell Westbrook, a league title has eluded the franchise. Thunder fans hope this season will be different, and a former Arizona State standout could play a role in making that happen.

The Thunder, who take on Indiana in Game 2 of the NBA Finals Sunday, lost to the Pacers in the series opener on a last-second Tyrese Haliburton 21-footer, overshadowing a strong effort by Lu Dort, who had 15 points � all from 3-point range � along with four rebounds, four steals and two blocks.
