They&#8217;re enjoying another two-day break before they host the Los Angeles Lakers in a national TV matchup on Thursday. At 60-16, OKC continues to have a small lead for the first seed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Thunder head coach Mark Daigneault and Aaron Wiggins talked to the media after practice. Daigneault explained that OKC&#8217;s success is the reason why they&#8217;ve become the NBA&#8217;s top villain. Wiggins campaigned for Shai Gilgeous-Alexander to win the MVP award.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Elsewhere at the practice facility, Thomas Sorber experienced some innocuous rookie hazing. The Thunder filled up his ride with package peanuts. It&#8217;s something OKC has done in recent years to first-year players. The 20-year-old joins the list.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Here&#8217;s what else happened at OKC&#8217;s Wednesday, Apr. 1 practice:<\/p>\n<p>Need a news break? <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-t-l=\":body nav (play)|e|auto spike click:16|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_sp_a\" href=\"https:\/\/play.usatoday.com\/?itm_source=SPIKE&amp;itm_campaign=PLAYSPIKE&amp;itm_medium=ONSITE\">Check out the all new PLAY hub with puzzles, games and more!<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a9 2026 okcthunderwire.usatoday.com.
