OKC Thunder at Detroit Pistons | Game Highlights | January 28, 2024

It’s the end of a road trip you’re going up a against a Pistons team that has just five wins and it’s an early start time and ched hren making early work right at the rim with that block first three rebounds of the game coming off that double double weight against the

Pelicans and we right not he’s got the first three rebounds when he goes up against a different player for the second time we saw the adjustment with joic and then again on Wednesday against Valen shunit except it was a Pelicans victory in the first

Match up as l D lines went up from Deep you hear coaches talk about that all the time you know those contested and deflected shots kidy nice spin move taking advantage of his size went right at hay dur can inhale rebounds when he gets going hren comes right back the other

Way goes right at him and scores man how much is he going to get this quarter he’s already got four he’s got five points looking for more he’s going to get more what a moves how about that left hand a little scoop and score plus the foul how about that little what is

That is that a shot fake or just a fake here’s a shot before folks that tough finish that’s good defense by Duran handed me uh convenient that it was right in his vicinity a couple of him andm yeah I’ll take it and SJ will take that three he’s

Above the Rim he’s physical he’s a rebounder he’s not a a stretch five by any means and shade little Dippy do inside nicely out of Memphis 20-year-old just doing a great job and this here is just really just a beautiful move with a different they may look the same but but they’re different

When you look when you break it down you just saw that little twist he put at the end that’s not a Twist it’s just a straight line midi he is much more than a shooter he is a scorer he’s a long range sniping he’s been shooting it pretty good the last

Couple of games for the Pistons boy Josh showing a little touch on a fade away remember they guy D kinsky [Applause] yeah here Mark D want the Thunder a run get up the floor they do exactly that Josh gidy just put his head down and charge right to the rim long range

Sniper shooting bonovich is one of those players that you just can’t give them any space and just because the Pistons are 5 and 40 you you can’t sleep on them absolutely your birthday rolling out the red carpet already got your dessert before dinner time that’s K Wallace

Right outside the mail Nice Shot man that was a busted play good job by the K showing some maturity on the floor pulling that ball back out on that fast break Shake went glass he could have shot that sometimes he just likes to go right at The Rim I say so show business

With respect folks cuz this is basketball look at that just somehow spun through two guys on the double team and it takes a lot of strength he’s got to have M on that basketball for the Lions since 1993 first playoff appearance since 2016 as the Thunder get the quarter started

Right as they did that first quarter K Wallace giddy trying to push it up Wiggins been so good in these games once again drives in goes right out the veteran Burks and scores but he gets the personal foul about this you know we’re on the

Playground we see a guy do a move like this we all go woo and he said he he plays to win and when you find yourself doing what the team needs in different positions it leads to makeing plays Jaylen Williams using his physicality got all the way to the cup

Nice move you don’t give him credit because the game was not did not go their way in that first quarter and they’re just fighting their way back and Isaiah Jones smooth stroke as Thompson was a highriser made it look easy got that pass from Sasser a Shifty Speedy guard Wiggins

From the outside finds the bottom of the net Thompson top five pick him and his brother will drafted to the top five Jay dub drives in hangs in the air long enough to spin at home despite the presence of Stewart fouces off of bonovich rare shot the he leaves

Short bonovich bounces off of Jay will who tied him up in the front of force the turnover so this Detroit defense right now is coming along and janed up yet again getting downhill and storn at The Rim so you know you’re going to go through EDS and flows of the

Game we just going to have to just play through that Shay what a move the spin and then reverse with the left hand here here’s this play here I like this better just nice little Spin and scoop shot highle play by a high level player just voted recently as

An D that wide body quick feet Shay spinning in traffic and even with Stewart coming over SJ knives right through he utilizes his speed he beat everybody down the floor get that pivot foot down this time has to pass out to the perimeter holgren ball fake tough shot got it up over

Duren plenty of time to do it just a nine-point game start of the third quarter thank you for being with us jdub space and capitalizes that three right out of the blocks first shot of the third the jump that pass as it swings around to Giddy extra pass to Dort and Dort gets

That one to go that’s back to- back threes for OKC SJ just baited Isaiah Stewart into that foul and then flung it up and flung it in this is tough man I mean in all fairness to Isaiah Stewart he did everything right except leaving his feet yeah he’s not going to extend outside

The free throw line and try to shoot the basketball nice steal in the strip SGA took it right away the Euro Step the deflection the tip and it finally drops in it’s Monty Williams wondering why that was not a travel just putting the offense on his

Back this is why he’s leading the NBA steals right there folks as he goes Coast to Coast black butter and toast nine-point run of his own here in the third quarter to keep the fun in it after falling behind by 14 as Dort is going to drive in into traffic ke

Johnson right into the game and he scores as he’s in the right place off that pass Just Produce two points like that he’s keeping the thunder in this game in the third with 11 points there’s a block th on bonovich loose ball the Thunder slowly shaving down

What was 14 and Shay wants again no the follow right there Jay will able to put it back in you see him get minutes for the Pistons s a rare Miss Johnson the offensive rebound Shay did not want the three instead once again knce inside and scores over muscala Monty Morris

Knocking down the first two of this fourth quarter yeah everybody who has played for Detroit has scored fine production and it’s Jaylen Williams time here early fourth quarter especially with all the the road games so today’s January 28th going have been on the road for 20

Two days if you count the flights as wat’s going to finish that off Stewart still down on the other end he’s knocked down some timely threes including that one that’s his third three of the game and J right back able to Swit one home from the wing it always seems

Michael like January is the biggest hill to climb in the NBA yeah load up a lot of games in that month we talk a lot about all the games that the Thunder Have and Have racked up that shot drops in like will they play a Sunday Thursday

There’s just not enough games I me it it it can get tough at times particularly in November and December I thought maybe that Sunday Thursday game would be a and guys come off the bench in my opinion they’re all just one whole piece really trying to put it up there

For SAR was able to put it in off the initial miss going to use that shot clock a little bit Wiggins up the floor and he’s got himself a layup breing

  1. Presti, For the love of God, spend some 2nds and maybe a 1st and GET SOME THAT CAN REBOUND AND GUARD A BIG. You don't need to wait until playoffs to see this gaping hole in this team. Beef Stew and Duran got all the rebounds and way too many easy shots. The last 2 games against the Lakers Lebron, AD, Rui got all the rebounds and point blank shots. Twolves and Nugz in 7 game game series are going to stomp this team. You have assets you have to let walk with Mann and Poku. Dont throw away this great start to the season. They dont need an Allstar, max, or starter. Just some who can play positionless and guard a big and let Chet bet a roving shot blocker. C'mon man!
