Chet Holmgren has been astounding in the Thunder's first-round series, imparting a great impact in the team's 3-0 series lead.

Holmgren bounced back in the second half of Thursday's 114-108 win, scoring 16 of his 24 points in the third quarter. He drained 4-of-5 from deep as the Thunder outscored their opponent 36-18, planting the seed for an improbable comeback to take a 3-0 lead in their best-of-7 series. After the game, Holmgren thanked his head coach.

With the Grizzlies’ defense often fixed on a deep drop and gapping Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Chet Holmgren and Jalen Williams have stepped up for the Thunder.
