Even after converting almost 60% of their 3-pointers, the Oklahoma City Thunder were just as happy with how they moved the ball during the match after recording 31 assists.

“We must be realistic; we can’t shoot the ball like that in each game,” Oklahoma City manager Mark Daigneault admitted. “It’s something that happens from time to time. That’s why we focus on all the things we can control.”
Isaiah Joe was 7 for 7 shooting for 3 and finished with a campaign-high 23 points, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had 24 points and 7 assists, and OKC sent the Golden State to their 5th consecutive defeat with a 128-109 win at Chase Center in San Francisco, CA.
“By the time that 1 got there,” Joe shared of his last couple of 3-pointers, “It felt like I was shooting into an ocean.”
Josh Giddey finished with 19 points, and rookie Chet Holmgren added 13 points and 10 boards in his 4th double-double since the beginning of the season to help Thunder to its 5th victory in 6 matches.
