The Thunder needed every bit of Holmgren's production. Entering the second half, OKC was down by 15 points, a rare occurrence of Mark Daigneault's team facing a double-digit deficit this year. Holmgren was a team-high +25 in the second half as OKC outscored Brooklyn 68-45 through the final 24 minutes to seal the deal.

After missing roughly three months due to a pelvic injury, Oklahoma City Thunder big man Chet Holmgren made his on-court return before the All-Star break.
