OKC Thunder cage the Freak – Topic: Thunder Podcast
The OKC Thunder just hosted the hottest team in the league, with the best record in the league, and an MVP candidate, and totally dominated them. What a win.
Tonight, the current front runner for the MVP defeated Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks, 118-112. That’s right, I went there. Okay maybe I’m a little biased, but it’s hard to argue that he’s not at least in the hunt after the performance we saw tonight for the OKC Thunder.
The Thunder defense held their ground against the Milwaukee superstar, holding him to zero made field goals on six attempts in the first half, the longest drought for Antetokounmpo in that time period in over three years. OKC also recorded seven blocks against him, the most by any team on a player this season.

Jerami Grant was the soul of that stout defense, recording a handful of blocks, including a ferocious denial at the rim that went flying into the second row of seats. At the end of the day, you couldn’t ask for much more from this squad on that end. (Text via new recruit, Matt Tierney)
