Obviously no JDub, Chet, Wallace, Caruso.
3rd game in 4 nights. Team has to be drained given the circumstances.
Tonight's result isn't surprising.
But OKC really missed Holmgren + Caruso. Offense & defense both look much different without them with Dub/Wallace out long term.

I continue to have no idea what continuation is and I don't think NBA refs do either.
Instead of an and-1 for SGA, the foul is called on the floor.

SGA's whistle this season is the complete opposite of what SGA's whistle reputation is.

SGA floats a lob to Aday Mara who slams it behind his head at the 1st quarter buzzer.
Great play from the 7'3" rookie.

Aday Mara blocks former Michigan teammate Morez Johnson Jr .
They were a national championship frontcourt together. Morez was the #9 pick. Mara was the #12 pick.
Mara has 1 block in all 5 of his rookie games so far.

Daniel Gafford is in his 8th season and hits his first career 3 pointer... against the Thunder.
Mavs big men and hitting corner 3s against OKC... an iconic duo.
