Josue Pavón: Cason Wallace reacts to his 5 STL vs the Clippers & Thunder’s 18 STL as a team: “We take pride in defense and we’re all competing… feels like we’re taking life from the other team and they’re ready to quit. So, when we get teams to that point, it makes the game more fun”

Brandon Rahbar: Mark Daigneault says Cason Wallace was ruled out for the game but that the team will check him out tomorrow. Daigneault says he doesn't know what was going on with him.

Golden State isn’t the only team employing an opening strategy that eschews their best player, a former-MVP, for an average shot. The most frequent opening attempter for the Oklahoma City Thunder? Chet Holmgren. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has taken nearly 400 field goals this season, second in the entire NBA, but only one of those came in an opening minute of a Thunder game. Chet has taken five, Cason Wallace and Aaron Wiggins three each, and Lu Dort and Isaiah Hartenstein two each. Head Coach Mark Daigneault knows Shai will get to his 30-piece anyway, so he uses the opening action to get the rest of the guys involved.

NBA Communications: Oklahoma City Thunder guard Cason Wallace and Toronto Raptors guard-forward Scottie Barnes have been named the Kia NBA Western and Eastern Conference Defensive Players of the Month, respectively, for games played in October/November.
