The mouth-watering scent of roasted turkey and mashed potatoes wafted through the gym. Music flowed out of every door; faces were being painted; pictures were being taken. Droves of families filed into the Boys & Girls Club of Oklahoma City for an evening full of Thanksgiving festivities hosted by the Thunder.
While the team played in a back-to-back in Los Angeles, the Thunder office took time to make a special trip of their own. This destination, however, was only 3.6 miles from Chesapeake Energy Arena. Several members of the Thunder business office, Storm Chasers and Thunder Girls took the evening to help distribute turkey, ham and other Thanksgiving staples to the members of the Club and their families.
