Had a feeling that Udoka substitution was coming after that Sengun turnover, his fifth of the night. Another strong all-around performance from him (17/10/6/1/2) but the aggressive Thunder defense are capitalizing on mistakes. – 12:05 AM

JDub pokes the ball out of Sengun in the post and scores the transition layup. All the momentum on OKC’s side right now – 11:07 PM

Sengun was triple teamed on a drive. Whitmore missed the 3, but that also opens room to rebound. Thompson did the honors. – 10:37 PM
Rylan Stiles @Rylan_Stiles
Chet Holmgren got physical with Sengun down low to disrupt and steal away that entry pass, it leads to another Jsoh Giddey floater. He has six of the Thunder’s eight points. – 10:08 PM

When you were growing up, did you play with trading cards? Lance Stephenson: Actually, I didn’t, but my friends did, so they used to always give me different cards. You know, I’m a basketball player and a super fan. My first couple of cards that I got were Stephon Marbury, Ray Allen, Shaquille O’Neal. I actually got the craziest card, a holographic Michael Jordan card. I wish I still had it to this day because I was so hyped. I was like ‘Ma, I got this card, Michael Jordan holographic. She’s like boy, go put them cards away.’ So yeah, I had a couple cards when I was young. -via HoopsHype / February 25, 2024
Shaunie O’Neal wants her hoops star daughter, Me’Arah, to stay in school as looooong as possible … telling TMZ Sports the NIL cash is way better than a WNBA salary!

With Shaq and Shaunie’s 17-year-old daughter, one of the best high school players in the country, heading to the University of Florida next year, her mom tells us the money’s SO good she (and other young women) should wait as long as possible before going pro. “For the women, for sure, hold on to your college career and NIL money,” O’Neal told us at LAX. -via TMZ.com / February 24, 2024
