OKC Thunder at Portland Trail Blazers | Game Highlights | March 6, 2024

And so the Thunder win the opening tip as giddy tries to give it up to Jaylen Williams he will drive and that’s what the Thunder have done so many times against this Blazers team andall pointed out pointed out in our open as chck hren he will launch from

The outside and he knocks out his first three hren again got a little bit of space he’ll spin left goes right and reath what a move the spin Chad hren lays it in well at 7′ one when you spin like that man you know it’s tough to to even recover from

That there it is right there that that’s the one that created the cut I I saw that in real time I didn’t really think it was enough for a foul officials let the play go on you know there you either the sideline or the end line you a right good officiating knowledge

There almost a steal Dort from the outside still feeling it Lou Dort drives got caught in the air got it right back same spot and he’s got the same result backto back triples well all the red shirts was expecting CH to try to go up as Grant lost it inside and that’s a

Portland turnover two on one SGA dumps it right off New Guinea was going to be there that’s an easy layup in transition went to the rim for the second consecutive time comes up empty great anticipation Josh giddy will take himself as he slips by re muray and this

Is where he plays strong safety just he literally prevented a fast break opportunity for the Blazers about 12 points higher than that Jeremy gr had the step leaned in went with the right hand on the left side and it just did roll off Wallace will keep it himself and K Wallace off

The bounce takes it up for the slam for freedom of movement foul look at this man that’s beautiful H the spin going left that time he goes Above the Rim to put it down love it now here’s that spin watch this folks keeps that ball low moves it away from the

Defender they’re talking 7′ one here folks he’s still a rookie I mean that’s just beautiful basketball no one’s home and he kind of tucks it away it’s just no stopping cuz he’s on a downhill run at that point nice stri K Wallace you know just don’t expect that from that guy who’s your

Five out there on the floor jdub didn’t get the alleyoop instead he’ll step behind the tape and can the three jdub’s got seven points nice F underneath Chad H mismatch and the deuce feel his game what a nice dime underneath Chad Homer’s going to finish that every time still a double digit

Lead Shay yet again explosive to the rack and when they got three-point Shooters on the wings that’s probably to Pais Lawson’s conversation with the coaching staff at halftime tightening up that shell another shot at 62% getting to their spots just like that Jaylen Williams open up to the third quarter scoring he’s got

14 just automatic it is that’s his signature move oh there’s another steal from SGA stepped in there grabbed it right away from Grant giddy up ahead contorts his body just enough and then flicks it home trying to get L is so good at Michael he can feel the body of the offensive

Player and there’s another dish setting it up Chen hoger and add another assist to him gidy on the cut look at this folks a little jump stop young players watch Mr Chad hren that’s an old school move by a new school player jump stop and pass the basketball well he knew it

Was set up SGA trying to tap it back out but bton coming out of the pack oh he dribbled it right off to the foot Shay cherry picking this is the closest of blazers have been in a while Shay this time is going to finish rupair right on his hip

He’s going to have a chance for three taking a screen we got two Shooters with the basketball I mean with the in the play one set the screen for the other there’s a a little stumble Shay now matched up on Simons trying to back him down tough shot on

The fade away took a little contact and an opportunity for SGA to go right back to the line and convert a three-point play six again what 6’4 no one’s coming over to help out you know what’s going to happen here you been completely dormant in the

Game M Shay going right to work right back out him there’s another chance for a three-point plays with that guy on him let just talking I mean you know if they’re not going to send a double team have sh Simon zo he tried to split the double

Team with a pass Hayward read at the whole way he’ll step into it from Deep cor and Hayward from downtown rips the cords has gone to a whole another level there’s that little squeeze play with Simons forcing him into a passer tickling the twins shot clock at six three still

Can’t get a three to drop it now the Thunder with time Shay 3 seconds already with 13 in the corner looking for a little bit more and he’s going to get a little bit more really got things going for the Blazers offense he had 11 points both players start this fourth quarter

On the bench and what a play to open up this fourth quarter final game of the road trip gidy sees a lane Cuts right to the cup and there’s another finger roll one hand he’s make it down you know you know you give up points and you only

Up two and this is Josh that last play remember on the that’s one thing about gidy on those sideline passes if the first Read’s not there he will wait for something to develop as Walker might have been affected by Chad hren lasers keep it too strong no lead is safe right

Now with this much time left in the ball game Simons comes back in and Jed hren Thunder had that basketball off the Miss and the contest from hren didn’t happen Jada fighting his way through all kinds of traffic there’s a scope how did he get that up oh man my

Goodness that move moments ago by Jay du folks take a look at it everything on there crossover reverse dribble and a nice little scope shot there’s a lotted Murray spins Joe good defense stood his ground got that hand up there with a block award passed up the three pulls in

They’re going to call the blocking foul and it goes off glass and you know it’s the key to that play he was in the restricted area take long to get there I thought he was still moving on that play you see that right foot around the defender Joe

Defending grant grant the size threw it right into the arms of Gordon Hayward 27th Point Big Time bucket and an important spot of this game oh and there’s a turnover Murray throw it right in the arms of J he will push now 8 seconds on the shot clock

Jdub up top over to Chad hen and they finally connect on that alley and it just went right over the top spot this was a huge play as J has been the recipient of a couple of lob attempts from Chad Homer this time look at that going left you

Think he’s going to got to continue though J do and hren at the top trying to run a little bit of clock but also trying to get a good shot jayd from the outside bombs a three on his watch space Target connection well he’s just not afraid of the moment

I mean he’s had a couple of Big Time shots like that first of all you know you got to take that shot and then you got to have the confidence to know you’re going to make that shot when you do take it folks he’s had a couple of those late in his fourth

Quarter none bigger than right here they are going to be able to run this game out but Jaylen Williams it’s just been killing the Blazers going back to the game winner in OKC and he backs it up with 31 more against the Blazers tonight the Thunder going to sweep the season series

  1. Good to see Hayward slowly rounding in to game shape and having 4 players in double figures was key.. first winning season for the Thunder since 2019-2020 season with now 43 wins!!! Now starting a 4-game homestand on friday night against Miami. . Have to continue to stack days and practices and the 0-0 mentality!!!
