The Oklahoma City Thunder held practice on Friday. This comes after a three-day break as the reigning NBA champions get another mini-vacation. That's what happens when you're 8-0 in the playoffs through two rounds.
The Thunder completed a Round 2 sweep with a Game 4 win over the Los Angeles Lakers this past Monday. They now await either the San Antonio Spurs or Minnesota Timberwolves in the 2026 Western Conference Finals. The Spurs hold a 3-2 series lead.
Thunder head coach Mark Daigneault and Chet Holmgren talked to the media after practice. Daigneault detailed OKC's productive practice and Jalen Williams' progress. Meanwhile, Holmgren discussed his strong playoff run so far on both sides of the floor.
