With goals from Chet Holmgren, Gilgeous-Alexander and Isaiah Hartenstein, the Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the Atlanta Hawks 117-100 in the new round of the 2025/26 NBA regular season, achieving a three-game winning streak.
Coach Daigneault said the team showed encouraging energy in the game and praised Gilgeous-Alexander's ability to read the game very well.
According to the data, Chet Holmgren scored 31 points and one assist in this campaign, Gilgeous-Alexander scored 30 points and five assists, and Isaiah Hartenstein contributed 14 points and two assists for the Oklahoma City Thunder.
When talking about Gilgeous-Alexander's performance, Oklahoma City Thunder coach Daigneault said, "He is now fully in shape, which is due to the hard work he puts in every day. He will not slowly get into the rhythm at the beginning of the season, but from the first game to the 82nd game, he is always ready."
"He's really starting to take control of the game as a key player. His scoring is impressive, but his passing choices and ability to interpret different defenses are also very good."
Daigneault also said, "This is a very comprehensive victory. The whole team has contributed and the performance is impressive. After consecutive away games and having experienced such a game, I think the team's energy is very good, which is very encouraging."
"We played better in the second half. In the first half, we were a little loose in transition defense and execution, but the players adjusted well after halftime and maintained a great energy throughout the game."
