OKC Thunder News and Notes

Holmgren produced 16 points (6-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds and one steal in 35 minutes during Monday’s 115-110 win over the Lakers in Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

The 24-year-old big man fell exactly one board short of a double-double for a third straight game as the Thunder booked their tickets for the Western Conference Finals with a second-round sweep. Holmgren is averaging 18.6 points, 9.1 rebounds, 1.8 blocks, 1.5 threes, 1.4 steals and 1.3 assists during the playoff run while shooting 60.0 percent from the floor.

Mitchell closed with 28 points (12-19 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, four assists and four steals over 33 minutes during Monday’s 115-110 victory over the Lakers in Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

It was Mitchell’s best-scoring performance yet in the playoffs, as the Thunder completed the sweep and advanced to the Western Conference Finals. The second-year guard has started six straight games in place of Jalen Williams (hamstring), averaging 21.2 points, 5.3 assists, 3.7 boards, 1.5 threes and 1.2 steals in 31.2 minutes over that stretch. With extra time for Williams to heal up before OKC’s next game, however, Mitchell could get bumped back to the bench in the next round.
