Thunder’s Stunning Game 2 Blowout: Can They Maintain Momentum or Is Drama Brewing Behind the Scenes?
Game 2 was a different story right away. Holmgren led all players with nine points in the first quarter, mixing in some drives and hot shooting. He clearly made a point of being more aggressive after a passive first game of the series. He finished with 15 points on 6-of-11 shooting for the game.
The Thunder made the change to move away from a starting lineup that featured Holmgren paired with Isaiah Hartenstein in Game 1 and never played the two of them together. It made sense to downsize to get another perimeter defender to guard Pascal Siakam to start the game, but not utilizing the two bigs together at all was a mistake. Holmgren and Hartenstein developed nice chemistry throughout the year.
