They said they travel to a city or two every year to do this and picked OKC and New Orleans this year. Adding this to my bucket list
A group of about 20 Raptors fans traveled to OKC to watch tonight’s game then rented out the Paycom Center to hoop after the game. This is 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Through 10 games, the Thunder starting 5 (SGA, Chet, Giddey, Dort, JDub) is the highest scoring 5 man lineup in the league. Also 1st in blocks and steals and 3rd in assists. Only 10 games (they’ve actually only played 9) but this is pretty promising.

Chet Holmgren and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander became the 1st pair of teammates in NBA history to both have 35+ points, 5+ rebs, 5+ assts, 2 stls, & 2 blks. Kind of a historic night for these two. Future is very bright for the Thunder.
The last time the Thunder had 2 guys put up 35 or more points in a game was 2-22-19 with Russ and PG. Chet and SGA just did it with SGA putting up 40 and Chet putting up 36
