Twitter Reacts to the OKC Thunder’s Big Win Over Boston Celtics
The Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the Boston Celtics on Tuesday night in a battle between league titans.
It was a back-and-forth affair til the end, with OKC eventually coming out on top, 127-123.
Even with the loss, Boston remains the league's best team with a 26-7 record, and will undoubtedly still hold the best odds at the 2023-24 NBA championship.
Boston made it a game late, getting to the foul line time and time again to cut the lead down in the fourth quarter. The Thunder were resilient though, with Josh Giddey hitting two clutch free throw to put the game on ice. After a near-Kristaps Porzingis 3-pointer, Gilgeous-Alexander would hit another pair.
The win was no fluke, as it pushed the OKC win-streak to five, giving them a 23-9 record on the season. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, the team’s bonafide MVP candidate, added 36 points on 14-for-22 shooting to down the Celtics.
Here’s how Twitter reacted to the Thunder’s big win:
Oklahoma City is back in action against the Atlanta Hawks at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Jan 3. They've won eight of their last nine games.
