In front The Thunder are missing Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jalen Williams over the next one to two weeks, head coach marc daigneault says that even though friday’s win against the nets wasn’t pretty, his players found a way. The Thunder defense held the Nets to 10 points in the second quarter. Then he found his offensive rhythm in the second half.

For Daigneault, missing Gilgeous-Alexander, Williams and Ajay Mitchell disrupted the Thunder’s offensive consistency, forcing the defending champions to adjust on the fly.

“Obviously we’re missing some real creators. So the way we’re trying to create upside is different right now,” Daigneault said. “But when we create a lead and get the ball in front, those plays are no different. I thought we had some really good plays. I also thought we had some that we could learn from. We had a lot of turnovers. It wasn’t a pure offensive game.

“It was tough to get into a rhythm with some of those plays, but guys are putting themselves in good positions. We’ve got to start building muscle, obviously, but we’ve also got to continue to build those habits offensively.”

The Thunder will host the Cavs in a matinee game on Sunday.
