Oklahoma keeps dreaming. The storm has broken and there is no one to stop her. It is impossible to contain the talent, the energy, the basketball and, above all, hunger of the Thunder players. Wanting more in every game, the project Daigneault It grows by leaps and bounds before our eyes. We are witnessing the birth of next great NBA team.
In the match of the day, those of Shai and company received some Clippers who comfortably beat Dallas the night before. It was not difficult for them to find the rhythm and get rid of the angelenos (134-115), stopping the streak of nine consecutive victories. Chet, Dort, Giddey, Williams and the Canadian star himself finished above 10 pointsconfirming that the Thunder have one of the most lethal quintets in the league.
Perhaps, the best young core in the NBA. It must be taken into account that his reference, Shai, turned 25 in July. Versatile, with a thousand offensive and defensive weapons, Oklahoma is already second in the West: 18-8, three wins in a row and 7-3 in the last 10 games. Team numbers that aspire to everything. But this year shouldn’t be the one. It shouldn’t, right?

An offensive frenzy
Having the NBA’s most winning team in front seemed not to be a problem for the Thunder. with his usual self-confidence, They started well on offense, with Shai doing damage from mid-range and on penetrations. Dort, Giddey and Jalen Williams They accompanied Holmgren to undermine the Angelina defense.
On the part of visitors, the return of Paul George It was a relief. With Leonard resting, the guard showed the best version of himself against his former team (22 points), threatening from outside (5/8 T3) and being the perfect executor for a James Harden who showed once again that he has already taken control of the team (23 points, 9 assists).
The third quarter was fundamental. He partial 33-45 of the locals broke a scoreboard that seemed to have no owner. Holmgren, doing damage from outside and assisting his teammates (7 basket passesbest mark of his career), was unstoppable. There was no force of nature to stop him.
With the game already in their pocket, the Thunder they were able to rest to his prodigious and fearsome quintet. All of them, above 10 points. New victory for Oklahoma. The illusion does not stop. We just have to know where the team’s ceiling is.
