Boston Celtics vs Oklahoma City Thunder Full Highlights 1st QTR | Jan 2 | 2024 NBA Regular Season

South Coast he or the medicine is that a beautiful oh nice no injuries to report full strength for the best team in the east by record and net rating against the best team in the west by net rating three full points better than Second Place Denver and in terms of raw wins

And losses they’re second to Minnesota Jaylen Brown on the step back to start left it well short to J hord and now SGA averaging above 31 points for the second year in a row and he starts with a smart play by chaden there didn’t because of

The switch just rolled right out of it SGA knew it and got the isolation jumper those guys have meshed in a hurry Oklahoma City Oklahoma City has won four games in a row off to a solid start here as the Celtics turn it over very good defensive team Oklahoma City

Is not a big time rebounding team though really their biggest and really their lone weakness they’re 29th on both ends of the floor in terms of rebounding percentage the thing with them is they’re also great in transition so interesting to see if the Celtics crash the glass tonight as Williams goes for

The hole they are keeping great spacing and cracking us off the dribble this is going to be one of those games where you’re just going to have to guard your yard Brown up top porzingis lays it in the brosi is connect yeah that great catch by porzingis looked like a wide receiver

High point of the football and the college football playoff yesterday bu just Alexander to holgren D white draws that assignment holgren turns in this you see how their spacing is Rel they’re just all right they like their match up they go oneon-one the Thunder do lead the NBA in 3point

Percentage above 39 on the season they don’t shoot a ton but the NBA in 22.8 drives per game leaves the NBA points off the drives passes off the drives free throw attempts from drives so they drive really well what they don’t do is rebound well they gave

Up the offensive board and another one as holiday collects where we can make a big difference in this game is by hitting that offensive glass Drew gets it to DWI best defensive back court in the NBA hooks up on offense we got a tie game two minutes [Applause]

In not only are the Thunder the best three-point shooting team in the league by percentage they’re also on Pace to be the best free throw shooting team in NBA history these guys can really stroke it giddy missed it out of bounds off of Tatum good hustle from Josh giddy the

21-year old out of has the ball his foot was on the line SGA against Brown that was our key match up good hands from Tatum to poke it free Gil just Alexander collects surveys finds HR and the hype mismatch against holiday now giddy hoists for three and knocks it down Josh giddy a

35% three-point shoter in his third season having a little bit of trouble when they come there the block yes in foul trouble big bonus for you two fouls against OKC holiday spins on gidy and steps on the [Applause] Baseline that’s already three turnovers against the Celtics none for the Thunder

OKC leads the NBA in opponent turnovers per game at 16 and a halfen with a pump gets it out the DOR giddy again matched up with porzingis can’t finish with the left good challenge from KP and here comes T White’s already got one triple left that one short porzingis the offensive

Board above the trees lays it in love that help to playing that physical game that’s what they’re going to have to do so scal how much do you want to see the Celtics crash the offensive blast I mean you got to be careful because of transition but man that is

Weak you have to balance that you have to balance that if you over pursue the offensive glass and don’t get it they’re they’re going to get a lay up out of it porzingis you see the full skill set on display after the put back he hits the

Three yeah that’s that shot will be there ched hren has a defensive mindset to stay in coverages so porzingis can get that all night did he hits again thund smoking hot to start there six of eight from the floor and three of three from the promised land that happens because FDA

Is breaking us down off the dribble Brown patient kicks it out for Holiday crosses over against giddy lost the handle KN J to get it out to Tatum five to shoot great Drive Great kick great shot porzingis again I wonder if dagal might move somebody else to

Porzingis on Pace for 58 wins second best in the west when I asked Chad hren how the coach has earned the trust of the team he told me by being really really good at what he does well happy he’s taking this team to a new level this year you saw the three losing

Seasons to start when they were young and up and coming those were their first losing Seasons since their first year in Oklahoma City Holiday leaves the three short now the question for you scy is what do you think is harder for people to say if they’ve never seen the word

Before lemonster or D how about dild Alexander people better learn how to say his name if they don’t know this where he had his best this is off the board he just kept going you see there’s no one helping which is I it’s how the Celtics play defense I don’t

Have a problem with that it’s Drew holiday one of the best defensive players in the league but SGA is a guy that’s not affected by his physicality he just keeps going he has his eyes up on the rim one of the best drivers as you mentioned earlier in the NBA a rare

Miss from the line though he’s 92% porzingis has been the Celtics best player so far he finds holiday on the dish for three getting a ton of three I really like like the way the Celtics are not settling and packing the paint four for seven from distance the Thunder are

Three for four from outside the arc as skild Alexander missed it foul on the floor Horford and Hower check in for Tatum and holiday tie game midway through this first Williams to dor he has been highly calibrated to start the year 43% from distance he miss that

One BR eyes up G takes him to the hole out porus draws the foul these are two of the three teams in the NBA that are top six in efficiency on both ends of the floor Philly is the [Applause] other under five to shoot porzingis after the

Flyby this is his first shot of the night now four for five and two of three from distance gidy can really push the pace the Euro from the Australian he missed it brown goes the other way porzingis with the size Advantage but Dort strip team especially this lineup

Where kenri Williams is playing the five but they’re strong and they’re quick and they’re athletic G Alexander runs the break the top transition score in the NBA kicks it out to Dort left alone missed the three Williams the offensive [Applause] rebound SGA man that change speed is

Impossible to stop I mean have lead on ball Defender another feather in the cap of Sam prey the conquered native drafted this guy 10th overall probably on Pace to make an all rookie team and this it’s really hard to be on all R team you’re on a a good basketball

Team only having six points per game but affecting the game in other ways Richard’s first shot off the Ben was short G Alexander again streaking matched up with Hower kicks it giddy nice recovery from porzingis Dort didn’t have the airace as brown Clos the Gap but giddy has the offensive

Rebound his pass deflected by Horford and taken by Brown great job by Horford just playing with high hands makes a big difference especially for teams that like to move the ball it’s just OKC’s first turnover Brown can’t connect on the triple buis Alexander is the Maestro of this OKC attack finds for the

Three we got it to something either challenge the boards or get back you can’t I mean if you miss and you crash you’re going to give up a bucket against this [Applause] Team shot clocks at five as Horford finds porzingis against Williams lot of contact no whistle doesn’t matter that’s incredible byas to be able to play through that contact Porzingis off to a smok and start tonight kidy tries to attack Horford off balance finish K is a physical offensive player a little Gordon Hayward in him his numbers are down across the board this year but I think a big reason why is other guys around him stepping up he

Doesn’t have to do quite as [Applause] Much th by five brown right through Williams offensive [Applause] Foul take a charge on Brown first time was a block succeeds that time so Brown takes a seat with the two fouls Tatum comes back in along with Holiday a clean case foris Alexander in there with four reserves including Isaiah Joe the advanced metric darling who
