OKC Thunder CRUSH Warriors | Chet Holmgren Offensive Leap | OKC's ELITE Defense

from Locked On Thunder - Daily Podcast On The Oklahoma City Thunder · host Locked On Podcast Network

Oklahoma City Thunder crush Golden State Warriors 126-102 to improve to 11-1, delivering an elite defensive masterclass that held Steph Curry to just 11 points and Jimmy Butler to 12. The most remarkable part? The Thunder accomplished this without two all-defensive players—Jalen Williams and Lu Dort—plus Aaron Wiggins and Kenrich Williams.Rylan Stiles breaks down Chet Holmgren's offensive evolution into a true inside-out threat with 23 points on perfect shooting, SGA's enhanced playmaking with 28 points and 12 assists, and Isaiah Hartenstein's demoralizing defensive sequence that sent Golden State into a timeout. The analysis covers Ajay Mitchell's explosive 17-point performance, Isaiah Joe drawing Curry's first-ever flagrant foul, and how the Thunder's next-man-up mentality works when the next men are Alex Caruso and Kayson Wallace.Discover why this level of defensive dominance shouldn't be normalized, even when it's become the Thunder's standard.  Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!DoorDashNext time someone goes off for 50, use promo code NBA50the next day to get 50% off on DoorDash with DashPass — plus your shot at the Bag Drop.DashPass members only. 50% off up to $10 the day after a 50-point game with promo code.
