OKC Thunder star Chet Holmgren watched helplessly from the sidelines as his team lost 97-81 to the Milwaukee Bucks. After a closely fought first half, Giannis Antetokounmpo turned the game around in the third quarter. Oklahoma desperately tried to rally in the final frame, but the Bucks defense held firm to win the NBA Cup championship.
Holmgren hasn’t seen action since injuring his hip against the Golden State Warriors on Nov. 10. With the 7-foot-1 forward/center and Jaylin Williams missing, Milwaukee’s frontline dominated the paint.
Thunder fans on social media were adamant their team would have fared much better had Holmgren been available.
