Oklahoma Thunder head coach Mark Daigneault has distinguished the difference between age and maturity as the team continues to shine.
The Thunder are fresh off demolishing the Pelicans 4-0 in their playoff series.
Oklahoma topped the Western Conference with a 57-25 record, a far cry from their 40-42 record the previous season.
The 2021/22 season saw the Thunder finish second to last with a 24-58 record.
“There is a difference between age and maturity. We have a mature team,” he said of the turn around in fortunes.
One if the biggest reasons if success is the firm if NBA MVP finalist Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.
He has been playing in the NBA since 2018, the last five campaigns in Oklahoma and is a perfect example of the team maturing into winners.
