Atlanta Hawks vs. Oklahoma City Thunder
Digest more
In the absence of 2024-25 All-NBA forward Jalen Williams at the start of the season, the Oklahoma City Thunder needed some of its rotation to step up and fill into the hole he leaves. This was an opportunity to third-year center Chet Holmgren to capitalize on; that is exactly what he has done.
Atlanta (1-1) earned a 111-107 road win over Orlando on Friday. The Hawks have plenty of Oklahoma connections such as Norman native Trae Young and former Thunder forward Vit Krejci. The Thunder is now 3-0. It'll finish its three-game road trip with a game against Dallas at 7:30 p.m. Monday.
