Thunder Win: Brooklyn Bolts
The Thunder win in Brooklyn, plus news and notes for the week.
OKC 127 BKN 101
Isaiah Joe made his strongest argument that the Thunder don't need Cam Johnson's shooting, going a face melting 8-10 from three to help give Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (in 29 minutes: 27 points on 14 shots, 10 assists, and 5 stocks. nbd.) the fourth quarter off in another breezy Thunder (35-7) over Brooklyn (14-29).
Next up: Oklahoma City gets to rest up before hosting the Jazz at home on Wednesday.
OKC's win over the Nets cinched the All-Star head coaching gig for Mark Daigneault. This will be the first time a Thunder coach ran the All-Star bench since Scott Brooks did in 2013-14, as Nick Crain (Forbes) points out.
