00:54treat tonight these are two of the best offenses in the league yeah ba you know one thing they have
00:59in common they make smart decisions with the ball and of course they know how and when to attack
01:05i think we'll get some high iq hoops here tonight now here's williams against atlanta he was really
01:13on his game here's gilgis alexander and he gets it to go a tricky cover gilgis alexander is a talented
01:21finisher inside pass to larson here's mitchell
01:27back to ellis here's larson williams defending
01:33to the right side
01:50and here's mitchell
02:02here's prince his last outing we saw him score 22 and even with the miss that's a high percentage
02:08shot for him and from the sideline let's catch up with ali thanks i caught up with the home team's
02:14head coach the conversation quickly turned to shake gilgis alexander who coach called a problem
02:19he's fast he's strong he's smart with the ball coach said so our defense is going to be working
02:25overtime to keep up with him but we will keep up with him coach thinks his guys are up for
02:30the
02:30challenge tonight back to you ryan ali thank you good on the shot well this offense is off to an
02:37outstanding start they're communicating executing and finding great shots well grant you look up and
02:44down this thunder roster it is just loaded with winning players yeah be a guys who are gonna make
02:50the right play defend their spot move without the ball i mean they built something special
02:56in okc piece by piece offensive rebound and harden stein slams it in incredible work right
03:05there on the glass just doing all he can to extend that lead hey once you got him on the
03:10ropes
03:11keep swinging away yeah this is the spot where coaches want you to be relentless don't even give
03:17them a glimpse of heart and what an aggressive move to the ramp he's really trying to fire up
03:23his teammates right now boy it's not hard to feel inspired after a teammate makes that kind of finish
03:29well that's exactly what's needed when you're trying to turn things around here's ellis following the
03:36bucket by the thunder prince the pass to ellis here's larson and it's holmgren with a rebound
03:43and williams has got the ball here for the oklahoma city thunder
03:47to the paint here's harden stein and harden stein slams it in they've played with fantastic energy from
03:56the opening tip yeah they've come out with more energy and effort and that's reflected in the score
04:01now here's ellis a dependable player on offense giving them over 13 a game
04:10here's prince and it's holmgren with a rebound here are the thunder with the ball
04:16they're on a 14 to 4 run from the wing and he buries that one back rim and in
04:23gilgis alexander's got eight an outstanding first quarter from the field
04:29driving inside larson with the bucket man he's bringing the energy the efficiency i love what
04:36he's doing offensively here's harden stein that one's good and so gilgis alexander with the assist
04:42and that's now six points for isaiah harden stein the home team calls timeout
04:55and looking at this last month here are the nba teams that have been outstanding at reading the
05:00opponents and picking their pockets oklahoma city number one they've really gotten after it
05:06the defensive end and that's been generating turnovers
05:14gone just three for seven here at the start pass to achimura outside mitchell
05:23here's ellis here's prince bounces high off the rim and drops a selfless player ellis is always looking
05:34to make the next pass
05:38gilgis alexander passes to hartenstein nice ball movement by oklahoma city and hartenstein slams it in
05:47they're not wasting any time putting their stamp on this game what a start yeah but you can't let
05:53up at all they've got a chance to put this game away early and they should take it and a
06:00fast break
06:00now for the thunder the open shot by sga again oklahoma city what a way to begin this game dominating
06:08at both
06:09ends of the floor obviously guys brilliant coaching a perfect game plan now here's achimura
06:1623 points his last outing ellis outside
06:23pass to achimura five on the clock
06:27the three from prince hartstein pulls it in well they desperately need him to get going offensively
06:34he's got to refocus and just start taking better shots now here's dort he's averaging about six points
06:42per game they've controlled the paint so far that's been the difference yeah it's not difficult to figure
06:49out why they built this lead they have been dominant in the field here's prince they trail by 16 to
06:57the
06:57left side wing achimura outside pass to mitchell fires the three it's rebounding by oklahoma city
07:04finding space on the perimeter but he couldn't capitalize and it's williams off the drive oh and
07:11makes it with the kiss looks like we're starting to see a pattern here not afraid to get in the
07:16pain
07:16and get wet ellis passes to prince and stolen by holmgren
07:25williams from long range they get it back another shot and dort puts it in so dort's got six points
07:32and breaking down some numbers here the hustle stats for oklahoma city but our coaching staff
07:38has to be happy with how active they've been defensively forcing turnovers and making the
07:44offense uncomfortable they're also managing to make lots of trouble for their opponent in transition
07:50right away they're finding points on the break so oklahoma city ends up going with a new group
07:57gone over two from outside right side herter pass to achimura back to herter
08:02over caruso and there's herter that's good on the assist from achimura well this is herter's
08:09specialty firing off the catch here's sorber and he jams it home with a thorny that's just a great
08:17pass excellent vision to see the open spot in the defense and lead him to the score pass to watson
08:24it's herter on the wing it's herter on the wing knocks it down from distance herter's gotten his
08:30second bucket well for herter this is his role make triple space out the defense
08:39now here's joe
08:42here's sorber soft touch off the glass and the thunder lead by 19. yeah their aggressive
08:50approach on the offensive glass has created second chance opportunities it's watson on the
08:56wing back to achimura and he takes it in for the layup off a very nice feed pounding it inside
09:03early
09:04and often setting a physical tone five second differential between the shot clock and game
09:09clock and they pick up two and guys the way this defense is getting manhandled down low you have to
09:15wonder if they're at a hundred percent right now over to the wing here's larson connect from downtown
09:23larson's got seven points in the game
09:28wallace up top check by mitchell and so he draws the foul headed to the line to shoot a pair
09:34the officials were right on top of that one he's getting his first free throw attempts of the night now
09:46and he makes a first oklahoma city making a switch here
09:59he's perfect from the line this time
10:05hachimura right side over williams he got it up in time but it would not fall for him
10:13what a performance for shea gilgis alexander he has been the story for oklahoma city
10:18he put together 10 points in the quarter back to the game after this break
10:41great to have you with us second quarter of basketball this game has not exactly been neck
10:47but plenty of time left in this one and a very convincing performance from the thunder so far
10:52i'll tell you what judging from that first period you have to love what they're doing offensively
10:58well you know i'm going to give this coaching staff some credit what a great game plan they've had
11:03let's see if this can continue
11:08zeke nagy out there with peyton watson then there's kevin herger then there's james and it's gillespie
11:14in at the one assisted buckets every team wants them they show you're running effective team
11:21offense and for oklahoma city wallace and williams run the wings then it's alex caruso
11:27then it's aaron wiggins and it's carlson in at the five and looking at jaylen williams is there a part
11:34of his game you like best grant you know it's tough to pick just one ba he's such an all
11:39-around player
11:40he can guard point guards post players you name it and can score from anywhere on the court
11:46obviously herder's focus offensively is on the outside but his touch translates into the paint as well
11:55here's williams can't get the bucket from 20 feet out
12:03here in the second quarter a little over a minute of play
12:07pass to james here's gillespie down low
12:13nagy good they've now had assist on each of their last three buckets thunder leading by 14
12:20inside here's caruso and he caught that pass in full stride on his way to the big slams oh yeah
12:27caruso has major spring to his game watson passes to nagy back to watson
12:35here's gillespie he's guarded by caruso pass to herder here's gillespie
12:42to the middle here's nagy hey how's that for an answer right back with the dunk i didn't know if
12:48they could match that last slam but it only took them a couple of moments hey not the best interior
12:53defense on those last few trips but who cares that was awesome now here's williams checking the numbers
13:00he's averaging close to 15 a game credit their discipline they've been working for high
13:06percentage shots the home team calls timeout
13:21guiltless alexanders checked in for carlson let's check in on the western conference standings as the race to the playoffs
13:28continues
13:29you look at oklahoma city right now they rank third in the conference aiming for a high seed in the
13:35postseason
13:36looking at oklahoma city they've established themselves as a legit team this year but you can
13:41tell they want to get higher up in the standings if possible and specifically securing home court
13:47advantage for the first round here's gillespie hasn't gotten one to fall yet and the basket by
13:54and you know coach loves seeing his offense operate at this level great passing out there
14:04here's williams watson with the rebound gotten off to a sensational five for five start of the second
14:10quarter pass to ellis fires for three the rebound by shea gilgis alexander and sga has got the ball
14:19here for the thunder they led the game at one point by 20 puts it up oh and there's the
14:26whistle on the
14:26shot so two free throws for him coming up it goes on pate watson and stan you coached a bunch
14:33of seasons
14:34in the league what's an issue that you face that maybe the average fan doesn't know well look i i
14:39think
14:40the thing that fans really underrate about the game is how intelligent these guys are so it's not
14:48really an issue that i face because i was lucky to have smart guys but i think fans underestimate
14:55how much basketball intelligence factors in when you're talking about the best players in this game
15:01chad holmgren he's checked in for caruso prince the pass to gillespie
15:08good defense there from sga and the shooter had very little space on that attempt there's no air space
15:14there whatsoever that's as close as you can get without power and we've become used to seeing
15:20this from gilgis alexander one of the most versatile and dominant scoring threats in today's game
15:25all right let's get a report from ali thanks ba coach mark dagnell talked about the thunder system
15:31of player development and he said we try to do things that serve both the team and the individual
15:35and then it's easier for guys to commit to it and if that happens then you have an environment that
15:41can be pretty powerful brian back to you turning potential into production thanks a lot ali isaiah
15:47hardenstein's checked in for oklahoma city god is good by gillespie the defense really fell apart there
15:53you can't afford to leave him all alone at the arc
15:59here's sga he gets it he's seven for eight and really going at him out there you're making it look
16:07easy gilgis alexander is so skilled the ball on a string and we see him do this time and time
16:14again
16:16gillespie can't get it to go man coach is going to have a few words with him after that shot
16:21yeah that
16:21definitely wasn't the shot they were looking for you got to keep the ball moving in that situation
16:27now here's sga last game for him he picked up 10. and how about that eight for nine now and
16:36the d can't
16:36allow gilgis alexander to get this positioning because once he does he makes you pay outside watson
16:44achimura the pass to watson now achimura
16:51outside watson six to shoot
16:55pass to achimura ellis outside three-pointer he's looking good two buckets and three attempts
17:02quick work off the catch by ellis this is why his teammates and coaches encourage him to remain
17:08a blessing willing passers unselfish play you have to appreciate this kind of offense achimura
17:15outside driving to the basket and it's slammed in by achimura well he can play the four because he
17:22gets off the ground so well
17:27pass to wallace
17:30nice ball movement by oklahoma city
17:32oh he's been flawless tonight now he's six for six they have no answer defensively inside
17:42got four of seven threes to go so far in this game ellis passes to watson
17:51ellis right side on the wing achimura shoots over hartenstein
17:56misses off the left iron oklahoma city leading by 17. here's williams
18:02oh and a great assist by sga that one goes in sga's got his fourth assist in this one
18:10gotten eight of 12 attempts to drop since the beginning of the second and shea gilgis alexander
18:15has made the move from star to superstar grant well no question ba he's been a superstar for quite a
18:22few seasons now but he's not satisfied it just continues to elevate his game year after year well
18:29you love the unselfishness makes the next pass and enables his team to capitalize on the possession
18:36and so mark dagno will call a timeout he's going to take a moment to give him a breather and
18:41talk
18:42things over
18:50both teams will make substitutions
18:53and right here an intimidating group the leaders in blocked shots over the past month
18:58second chad holmgren and during this last month he made a statement on the defensive end
19:03just swatting away shots left and right
19:14a minute 31 left to play in the first half dort finds gilgis alexander
19:20and the big finish by holmgren and before he even leaves the floor holmgren has the ball at rim level
19:29ellis outside
19:31prince the pass to ellis here's larson dort defending
19:36right side mitchell pass to prince back to mitchell four three that one goes now he's one for two
19:45look he's the kind of player that has you awake at 3 a.m asking yourself how do i stop
19:52that
19:53here's wallace prince grabs the miss most nights this shot would have been his but the defender gave
20:00him just enough trouble outside mitchell
20:0735 seconds left in the second period not going to go that time
20:11gilgis alexander with a ball guarded now by mitchell and it's holmgren missing
20:17gone three of four from outside so far in the second quarter
20:23pass to larson
20:26oklahoma city grabs the miss
20:28harden stein's got a sixth rebound on the night launches a three hits the trifecta
20:34wallace has got seven points and he's been an ideal teammate tonight he's really creating
20:40plenty of looks with his passing yeah when there's been an open man he's founded
20:45you love to see a guy dishing it like this and so it's oklahoma city out in front by 19
20:52going into
20:53the break their efficiency has been off the charts they're running their sets well with patience and
20:58purpose all right stick around we'll be right back after this
21:13so
21:30and hello everybody what an amazing first half performance it's been for the Oklahoma City
21:36Thunder they're taking the traditional approach of working it inside and then going outside
21:43that stretched out that defense yeah it's about time once you establish that inside game everything
21:49away from the bucket opens up and now an opportunity to check out the old social media feed and this
22:00is
22:00from hoops queen life it's a question for Shaq who was your favorite team to play let's see I
22:08play for so many obviously the Lakers what up LA love y'all yeah I'm glad he counted those teams
22:16because I was on seven he has a little amnesia I learned that from your time in Denver Orlando
22:23and Detroit okay enough enough enough enough enough thanks for tuning in now it's time to
22:30head back over to Brian Anderson for the start of the third quarter
22:48and there wasn't too much drama in the first half but maybe things will tighten up here in the second
22:53you know Shea Gilgis Alexander has been exceptional here guys I like how they controlled the tempo
22:59and play to his strengths yeah he's found his spots been patient with his shot selection
23:05and it's paid off for himself and the team
23:22gotten five of their nine attempts from deep to go Torian Prince is out there with Rui Achimura
23:28then there's Keon Ellis then there's Mitchell and it's Larson in at the center position
23:34back to Prince over Holmgren Prince can't hit and they're up considerably because of their efforts
23:41on the glass and for Oklahoma City two big bodies inside with Holmgren and Hartenstein in the middle
23:47Gilgis Alexander runs the point with Doord at the two and it's Williams in at the small forward position
23:54they've got Rui Achimura Mitchell out there with Keon Ellis then there's Prince and it's Larson in at the
24:00five to the five to the inside
24:04Oklahoma City grabs a miss and for Oklahoma City two big bodies inside with Holmgren and Hartenstein in the middle

24:26and here's Ellis
24:28here's Larson
24:29Williams defending

24:33now Mitchell
24:35he takes it in
24:36and the bucket counts
24:37and he is on his way to the line
24:39he'll try to make it a three-point play
24:42first trip to the free throw line for him tonight
24:52that free throw is good for Mitchell
24:57and Gilgis Alexander's got the ball here for Oklahoma City
25:01earlier they held a 23-point lead
25:03and that one good
25:05Gilgis Alexander's gotten four this quarter
25:07and they're just taking what the defense gives them
25:10and right now that's the interior
25:13Achimura finds Prince
25:15nails it from beyond the arc
25:17that's inexcusable defense right there
25:20you gotta contest the shot better than that
25:23SGA passes to Williams
25:26steps back
25:28for three
25:30Prince grabs the miss
25:32well after three straight makes that's their first miss of the half

25:44the three from Prince
25:45it's rebounded by Oklahoma City
25:48Gilgis Alexander's got six rebounds in the game
25:50yeah those shots from him are certainly not helping their case
25:54and now almost all their points coming from the paint
25:58the home team calls timeout
26:19not quite two and a half minutes played here in the second half
26:22pass to Larson

26:38throughout his career
26:40Torian Prince has continued to prove himself
26:42as a reliable three and D wing
26:45well he's an athletic
26:46strong
26:46and confident swingman
26:48and B.A. as long as he continues
26:51shooting it well for deep
26:52and locking guys up
26:53he's gonna have a spot in this league
26:55yeah this is when they need to lean on him more
26:58get him the ball and let him build some momentum
27:02and that one's good
27:03SGA
27:05SGA's got 22

27:09pass to Prince
27:11here's Ellis
27:12oh not wasting any time and taking the shot and hitting it
27:17unselfish basketball
27:18that's what coaches love to see

28:16you take a look at the home team
28:18if the postseason were to start today
