OKC HAS PLAYOFF EXPERIENCE!
It was fun, but I would have rather had less of a good time and a wider margin of victory as the home team, the Oklahoma City Thunder, held on to beat New Orleans 94-92 in the Paycom last night on Reno Street. Cason Wallace, OKC’s “other” rookie had the final stop, forcing Pel’s guard CJ McCollum from making a last second three point shot as the Thunder take a one game lead in the best of four first round series.
Chet Holmgren had the other significant defensive stop with a masterful block, and Shai Gilgeous-Alexaner’s old-fashioned three point play were the winning points in the final minute of the game. The two teams will meet for game two Wednesday night in OKC at 8:30 PM
