Mark Daigneault called them artists.
In the Thunder win 127-123 against Celtics On Tuesday night, OKC’s work jumped off the page.
Paycom Center was Jalen Williams And Shai Gilgeous-Alexanderthe Web. They are modern, they are confident. And their influence was everywhere.
SGA was written as if it had been all season. Effortlessly slides up to the rim. Unbeatable stepback riders. 36 points, six rebounds, seven assists and the game-sealing free throws.
Williams played his hand in the fourth quarter. Eight points in the period, 16 in the evening. A deadly short pull-up.
The Thunder’s young players probably shouldn’t be so calm. So confident, so capable of winning matches. But that’s just the way they stroked their brushes.
That’s what artists do.
