OKC Thunder week that was – Top 10 plays from OKC’s West Coast gauntlet
10. PG finds Nerlens for the slam
Coming in at number 10 is a PG13 – Nerlens Noel alley-oop dunk. George takes Avery Bradley off the dribble and sees’s Montrezl Harrell step up to try and draw the charge. PG shows fantastic awareness and spots Noel under the hoop for the two-handed slam.
While I would love to see Noel receive more minutes with the starters due to his high activity in limited minutes, the big man is playing exceptionally well. If OKC’s second unit can get him more touches, the Thunder will be in better position to outplay opposing benches.
9. BBQ Chicken
In the game against the New Orleans Pelicans, Steven Adams shows just how strong he really is. After receiving an entry pass from Westbrook, the Big Kiwi completely abuses Cheick Diallo on the block and finishes a right-handed hook.
This marks the first of four appearances in the Thunder top 10. Adams had a sensational week and continues to make his case for an All-Star birth in the new year.
