OKC Thunder rising star Chet Holmgren explains the change during the playoffs from the regular season.
The Oklahoma City Thunder have plenty of rising stars on the roster backing up superstar Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, and one of those is 7-footer Chet Holmgren.
Holmgren's assertion to the lineup, with help from a leap from Jalen Williams and an MVP-level season from Gilgeous-Alexander, lifted the Thunder to a 57-win season in Oklahoma City and a No. 1 seed finish in the Western Conference. Still, the young Thunder squad got a feel for the NBA playoffs as they head into a season with expectations under their name. Holmgren, in an appearance on"Regular season is still lit. All the games were sold out. The fans were really into it, cheering loud. Shoutout our fans. I love our fans," Holmgren explained. "But then the playoffs, you get the same colored shirts and all that. As soon as you come out for pregame, the pregame playlist is all hype songs.
Oklahoma City has provided one of the best crowds since the franchise was moved to the city. Thunder fans are among some of the best in the league. The pregame music playlist played a role in the Thunder's improved atmosphere, though, Holmgren joked.
