Chet scored 31 points despite being injured! Thunder coach: He didn’t play well against the Pacers and he was very disappointed with himself
6686 Sports October 26th The NBA regular season continues. The Thunder defeated the Hawks 117-100 at the away court today and won their third consecutive victory.
In this game, Holmgren played 27 minutes, making 8 of 12 shots, 6 of 8 three-pointers, 9 of 10 free throws, a team-high 31 points, and 12 rebounds, 1 assist, 3 interceptions and 1 block.
After the game, coach Daignault was interviewed and talked about Holmgren playing with injuries (back and hand).
"He always brings this courage and hard work, he is always ready to play, he is a great competitor. I don't want to speak for him, but I think he was disappointed with his offensive performance against Indiana, so he came up tonight and actively took those shots. After he saw a few shots go in, he got into a great game rhythm." Daignault said.
Talking about the restriction on the Hawks' two-pointers (41% shooting rate), he said: "The influence of our inside players around the basket is particularly significant. We got great playing time from Jaylin, and Chet and Harten played together for a long time tonight, and their performance on the court was really good. Once we were able to stabilize our position against them in the positional battle, we gained some good things in the game."
