It’s too easy to automatically point to the 3-point shot for Josh Giddey, but his ability to score at the rim continues to be a growth point. Was 5-7 at the rim tonight and jumped to 62% in 2022-23 from 57% as a rookie. The 7 FTA equalled a career-high. BIG TIME performance. – 12:43 AM

Nice pass by Dort to Saric. He could’ve kicked it for a corner 3 for Giddey but instead has a nice rim finish. Saric with a couple quick buckets. Lindy Waters III coming in Giddey. – 10:15 PM

SGA’s first bucket and only third shot comes with 4:01 left in the first quarter, and OKC is up three. Lu Dort and Josh Giddey did big work the first 8 minutes as the Thunder settled in. – 10:11 PM

OKC has missed a J-Will open 3, Shai step-back mid-range and a Giddey floater in the lane. Jaylin Williams picked up a block instead of a charge on BI. Those things add up. They just have to keep playing. – 9:57 PM

A real moment for Australian basketball coming up next. Josh Giddey and Dyson Daniels, two good mates and a HUGE piece of the next generation of Aussie hoops are about to play off in their first NBA postseason game. – 9:34 PM
