The OKC Thunder pulled off a crazy comeback against the Golden State Warriors. The Thunder got down 18 points in this contest, which started as a back-and-forth affair. A late pushback in the middle of the third quarter led to hope being surged back into the once-dashed Thunder fanbase.
After trading blows, racking up 17 lead changes, and 15 ties, Andrew Wiggins went scorched earth. After stumbling out of the gate this season, Wiggins went 5-for-8 from 3 to net 38 points, including what seemed to be the dagger at the end of the fourth that allowed the Chase Center and the Warriors bench to explode.
Then…Chet Holmgren sent a game-tying three flying in the air while being harassed in the short corner with just under two ticks remaining on the clock.
Not only did it splash, but the rookie big man stayed unbelievably composed. He led the Bricktown boys to an overtime win in San Francisco to sweep this baseball-style series against the Golden State Warriors.
