The Oklahoma City Thunder held practice on Saturday. They’re fresh off a badly-needed 105-86 win over the Brooklyn Nets on Friday. But they must quickly turn the page as the high-scoring Cleveland Cavaliers come to town for a Sunday afternoon primetime matchup.

Thunder head coach Mark Daigneault and Isaiah Joe talked to the media after practice. Daigneault talked about bringing Jared McCain and Nikola Topic along. He also talked about Thomas Sorber’s continuing rehab from a torn ACL.

Meanwhile, Joe talked about his growth on defense. He’s stepped up in Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s as a double-digit scorer. He’s shown he can do more than just be a catch-and-shoot guy.
