The Oklahoma City Thunder survived the injured Utah Jazz in OKC on Wednesday behind an impressive 35 points, 14 rebounds, and 3 blocks by Chet Holmgren to come away with a 119-107 victory over the Jazz. Holmgren continues to be a solid piece next to Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jalen Williams, and the Thunder appear to be gearing up for a quality postseason.
The Oklahoma City Thunder continued rolling on Friday night as they dominated the Charlotte Hornets from start to finish before coming away with a 126-106 win, the Thunder’s third victory by at least 20 points in the last 9 games. Tonight, they have a shot at another big win as they host the Toronto Raptors.

The Thunder had one of their best shooting nights of the season in the win against Minnesota last night, but they cannot expect that to be the sole reason they beat better teams. The quality shots were a result of a more focused defensive strategy, which was evident down the stretch when the Timberwolves struggled to match shot for shot with OKC. The Knicks are a team that could win a shootout if the game goes that direction, so the Thunder needs to focus on another quality defensive night to secure a win.
