Strange but true. The Warriors (6-8) lost for the sixth straight time. With a sensational tip from coach Kerr, who doesn’t call a foul on his team if they come out of the timeout with +3 and have less than 2″ to play, punished by Chet Holmgren who turns around undisturbed and shoots the three-pointer from the corner that forces overtime. Then the Thunder (9-4), led by Gilgeous-Alexander, flooded. The Warriors were also ahead by 18 points, benefiting from Curry’s good return after a two-game absence (knee) and a rediscovered Wiggins, who scored 31 points and 5 triples, the last of +3 with exactly 1.6 inches to go normal time. Then his coach’s omelette, in which Holmgren scored 36 points with the basket of the game and reiterated that the Freshman of the Year award is not automatically awarded to Wembanyama. He is on the ballot, in a winning context compared to the Frenchman’s uncompetitive context.
