Holmgren loved the physicality that the referees allowed the Thunder to play against the Grizzlies. It's right up their alley as the NBA's best defense in years is built around causing turnovers and wrecking passing lanes for quickly transition buckets.

The Oklahoma City Thunder saw Chet Holmgren step up in the first round of the NBA Playoffs and he dished on the playoff physicality and his personal shot diet.

After Game 4, Thunder head coach Mark Daigneault applauded the Grizzlies' effort in a hard-fought first-round series. When a reporter asked Daigneault about his team's three-point shooting, which was at its best in games 2 and 3 at a 38.7% and 34.2% clip, respectively, the Thunder head coach said his team's shooting results were reassuring.
