Magic's Serge Ibaka: Scores 19 in Sunday's loss

Ibaka scored 19 points (8-17 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT) while adding six rebounds, two blocks and an assist in 33 minutes during Sunday's 104-96 loss to the Bucks.

Analysis:

Ibaka is starting to look more like the player he was earlier in his career with the Thunder, as he's now recorded multiple blocks in five straight games while draining at least one three-pointer in six straight contests. It's also becoming clear that there is no further level to his game, however, with Ibaka's scoring not taking the leap forward many expected without Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook dominating the possessions. He's averaging 14.4 points per game, only a mild uptick from the 12.6 he averaged last season in Oklahoma City.
