Thunder’s Mark Daigneault finds silver lining after 20-point loss to Blazers
On the first of a back-to-back on the road against the Portland Blazers, Mark Daigneault and the Oklahoma City Thunder fell 123-103 on Tuesday. Thunder’s Chet Holmgren is closer to coming back after participating in a pregame shootaround. However, Oklahoma City could have used the All-Star forward on both ends of the floor in a 20-point blowout loss. Damian Lillard (25 points) and All-Star Deni Avdija (24 points) combined for 49 points on 16-for-30 shooting to lead Portland to victory.
After the loss, Daigneault addressed the Thunder’s shortcomings against the Blazers, who gave his team its third regular-season loss.
