Episode Notes
Game 1 is in the books, and the Thunder made a pretty clear opening statement.
Host John Napier is joined by Daily Thunder beat writer Brandon Rahbar and EIC Cray Allred to break down OKC’s win over the Los Angeles Lakers. They get into the real takeaway from a sloppy-but-comfortable Thunder performance, Chet Holmgren’s impact, whether LA actually has a path in this series, and, of course, free throws.
They also hit Wolves-Spurs and check in on the Eastern Conference matchups to round things out.
