Um, they each made *** little arrangement that they took home as well, and so, um, it was really fun. They got to work alongside people in our work program, um, and just have some fun with flowers. Curbside Flowers employs people transitioning out of homelessness in Oklahoma City.

And so just getting to like have some fun and be visited by Thunder players while they’re at work today, um, that was just really cool and is really meaningful and shows how much the Thunder cares.
