It was a night of surprises! First of all, no one expected Russell Westbrook to play for the OKC Thunder in Sacramento. It was announced and assumed Westbrook would remain with wife Nina, son Noah and new twin daughters Skye and Jordyn. Yet, there the Brodie was ready to go at the tip.
The second shock was Billy Donovan had stated regardless of whether Terrance Ferguson was on hand or not Hamidou Diallo would get the nod in the starting rotation.
Perhaps two changes were one too many as the Kings jumped on the Thunder getting out to a fast 10-0 lead.
