The Oklahoma City Thunder put out an impressive display of basketball in their second preseason game, teasing what could be in store for the regular season from their regulars. The Thunder's depth could not hold off the Rockets.
Frustrating and flustering are ways the Oklahoma City Thunder's fantastic defensive will be described all season long. On Wednesday, in their team's second preseason game, the Thunder showed they are as good as advertised.
Rising Star Chet Holmgren aggressively got to the rim in the opening frame heading to the free throw line for eight free throw attempts in as many minutes. Jalen Williams lived up to the challenge placed on him during training camp and let the three's fly turning in a 2-for-4 effort from distance in just the first quarter.
A 20-8 run by OKC capped off the second quarter which saw Daigneault throw a perfect game blending lineups together and weaving players in and out to keep the Rockets guessing. The Thunder controlled the glass 23-21, forcing 13 turnovers and swatting five shots. The Thunder called on their youngsters to close out this game as Ousmaen Dieng was the only player with more than two years of experience to step on the floor in the final frame, Adam Flagler the only one not a rookie.
