Back to back seasons of at least 15-win improvement for the Thunder, only the sixth team in NBA history to do that.

Gordon Hayward up to 18 points in this one

The last time Hayward scored 18 or more was December 13th when he had 20-5-7 for the Hornets against the Heat

OKC’s last two quarters of defense:

Allowed 8-46 shooting

This recovery and block from Chet Holmgren is ridiculous

All Defense this man

Three things from last night, where SGA returned…

Yeah.

SGA is back.

Lu Dort has played 5 NBA seasons.

He's been in the top 3 of this metric in 3 of those 5 seasons.

Watching film with Chet Holmgren and diving into how he attempts to satisfy a constant hunger to improve: youtu.be/283edlWAtYQ

14 years ago I helped setup the original airport greeting for the Thunder, the night they clinched their first playoff berth.

It was wild being on the other side of the fence, stepping off the plane to see hundreds of fans with OKC back in the playoffs and a new journey ahead.

🤩🏆

That was a really tough-minded win for OKC. Hornets played a great game, hung around and hit big shots. But without Dub and SGA really executed down the stretch and got great looks.

- Wiggins: 26 pts, 5 assists, 6 steals
- Giddey: 20-13-13
- Chet: 20 and 10 + 3 blocks

Locked in his Montreal home during quarantine, Lu Dort turned boredom into productivity.

Now, he’s used that time to become one of the NBA’s best defenders.

“He’s an artist,” his coach Mark Daigneault says.

Love the way Bron and JJ broke down how Chet Holmgren changed the equation for OKC.

“OKC now, at the same time as a big is trying to load up on Shai, there’s a guard that’s flaring for Chet to the opposite slot… do you know how hard that is?!”

Saw a stat that blew me away about the contrast in experience between the two teams with the top net-ratings in the NBA this season.

Net Rating:
Boston: +11.7 (1st)
OKC: +7.1 (2nd)

Total points scored by rookies this year:
OKC: 1,878 (2nd)
Boston: 9 (30th)
