Nader showed up and showed out against his old team, the Boston Celtics on March 8th in which was the last time the Thunder stepped on the court before the season was suspended.

He lived up to the occasion and absolutely dominated under the rim, blocking four shot attempts by Boston. He also added six points, three rebounds and two made buckets from downtown.

This was a game that truly displayed his defensive prowess and desire to go full throttle in every possession.

It also echoed the determination of his teammate Schroder who stripped the ball off Kemba Walker in the dying moments of the game. As well as Chris Paul who pestered Jayson Tatum on defense until the final whistle.

That was a special victory and one that we’ll remember as not only the last time we got to see OKC play but a time when Nader proved once again his important impact on the team.
