In the Thunder’s first game in 135 days, the team started the unprecedented resumption to the season in the same way they opened up its 2019-20 season back in October – with a Steven Adams 3-pointer.
Outside of that singular play, there wasn’t much resemblance between those two games. The Thunder faced the Boston Celtics in the team’s first matchup inside of the NBA’s Disney World campus hundreds of miles away from either team’s homecourt. To name a few other notable differences, Adam’s shot bounced off the rim, there was no noticeable gasp from thousands of fans in attendance and there was another seven-year veteran on the Thunder’s bench ready to step in at any moment – Andre Roberson.
