Between his surprisingly slow start after a highly-impressive summer showing at the FIBA World Cup, adjusting back to NBA-style basketball and adding a slew of outside noise, it’s not a surprise that he hasn’t been as seamless a fit as he has been in year past with the Thunder.

But he’s working to move past the negativity and on-court struggles that have faced him to this point. Boston allowed five different Thunder players to score more than 20 points. One of those players was sophomore guard Josh Giddey. After the contest, Giddey spoke about the win and how they made life harder for Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown.

“It felt contagious from the jump. I mean, we shot the lights out of the ball. I think [our] energy was high all night,” Giddey said. “Defensively, I think we got after it. We made it tough for Tatum and Brown. And that sparked our offense. I think once one guy starts making shots, it spreads through the team, and it’s contagious. I think our offense was really good tonight. We flowed, we moved the ball really well. We got a lot of good looks. And you know, we made a lot of them. So if we continue to play like that, I think we can compete with a lot [of teams]. You’re obviously not going to shoot the ball like that every night, but I think the principles of getting those looks and defending the way we did, it’s really gonna help us going forward.”

Each passing game has given the third-year veteran a chance to better adjust and play a pivotal role for Oklahoma City alongside its young, but talented core. And according to Thunder coach mark Daigneault, that’s exactly what he’s done.

“He’s got some swagger right now,” Mark Daigneault said of Giddey’s recent success. “It’s a good example of these guys, there’s gonna be a lot of ups and downs for every single player. Nobody’s gonna have just a linear progression.”
