The Thunder led by 20+ in the final frame as head coach Mark Daigneault emptied his bench, while his reserves emptied the clip, so to speak, from behind the arc. The Thunder connected on a franchise-record 27 threes, including two-way guard Adam Flagler and rookie Dillon Jones, each draining a pair from deep.

Although he still hasn't been fully reintegrated into the OKC Thunder offense, Chet Holmgren's impact on winning has been tremendous since returning to the court.

Oklahoma City has operated a well-oiled machine offensively, and adding another scorer to the max can be tricky.
