The Oklahoma City Thunder held a film session on Sunday. This comes a day after they beat the Los Angeles Lakers again in a 131-108 Game 3 win on Saturday. With that lopsided win, the reigning NBA champions built up an insurmountable 3-0 series lead that semantically ends the Round 2 series.
Thunder head coach Mark Daigneault and Cason Wallace talked to the local media. Daigneault discussed his ever-evolving relationship with OKC and how it compares to when they first started their rebuild six years ago.
