Chet Holmgren Goes 9-for-9 as Thunder Rout Warriors to Reach 11–1

The efficient surge reflects targeted offseason work, helping cover for injured All-Star Jalen Williams.

Overview

  • Holmgren finished with 23 points and 11 rebounds on a perfect 9-for-9 night, including two threes and three free throws, in a 126-102 win over Golden State.
  • He sat the fourth quarter with the game in hand and later said he had not realized he was approaching a flawless shooting line during play.
  • Coach Mark Daigneault credited Holmgren’s movement in transition, spacing and creativity within the Thunder’s system for the breakout performance.
  • Early-season production sits near 20 points and 9 rebounds per game on strong shooting splits, according to the Associated Press.
  • StatMuse noted he is the first Thunder player to post a 20-plus points, 10-plus rebounds game without a miss against the Warriors, as his growth also helps offset Jalen Williams’ absence following wrist surgery.
