The Oklahoma City Thunder love their sideline reporter, Nick Gallo. Thunder players have made him a true part of the team through theiron the live broadcast. That comes with some brotherly love, though, and Thunder players took it to another level when they pranked Gallo as he interviewed Shai Gilgeous-Alexander after OKC beat the Philadelphia 76ers Tuesday night.
Jalen Williams held a stack of towels in his arms, passing some to surrounding teammates in between stacking the rest on Gallo's shoulders and head while he tried to keep a straight face speaking with Gilgeous-Alexander. Williams, Luguentz Dort, Aaron Wiggins and Jaylin Williams continued to pile as many towels as they could on Gallo before the interview ended."Y'all, you got to chill," Gilgeous-Alexander said to his teammates on FanDuel Sports Network Oklahoma. "I'm sorry Nick. The children, I'm so sorry."
The Thunder, the top team in the Western Conference, advanced to 33-6 with their 118-102 win over the 76ers on Tuesday. OKC has won 18 of their last 19 games. And they had some extra fun with Gallo to celebrate.Blake Silverman is a contributor to the Breaking and Trending News team at Sports Illustrated.
