“Yes, the Thunder are 2-0 but it feels double that, given the circumstances. They beat Victor Wembanyama and Nikola Jokić. They swatted away the Spurs and Nuggets, perhaps their two biggest threats in the Western Conference, and they did so with room to spare.” @Powell2daPeople examines another huge Western Conference win for OKC in 4 Takeaways.

My final Lt. Governor’s Travel and Tourism Summits were held the past few weeks. It was great to be in Muskogee at the newly renovated Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame and at the Stafford Air & Space Museum in Weatherford. I’ve enjoyed collaborating on these events with the Oklahoma Travel Industry Association over the course of my eight years in office. I’ve said it before and will keep saying it: Tourism is the front door to economic development. Many thanks to everyone who promotes our state each and every day and helps make tourism the third largest industry in Oklahoma!

Aday Mara on playing against Wemby and Jokic: “It’s pretty crazy because the last two games were against Wembanyama, and tonight was Jokić. Which is crazy because Jokić is one of my favorite players, if not my favorite player. So I haven’t really thought about it yet, but it’s pretty crazy to play against those guys that I’ve watched on TV. Once I get to the court, I feel pretty comfortable.” #ThunderUp Via @BasketballGuruD

The bot situation is out of hand. It's been progressively getting worse on this tour. With that said, my concern is for the people who managed to buy tickets today for the third show in Kansas City before the bots crashed the on sale. I will personally look into what can be done. You have my word that all that can be done will be done. You have my deepest apologies for the results and my most sincere appreciation for your efforts today. love, g

For the second-straight night to start the season, the @okcthunder defense was the engine for victory. By walling off the deep paint and getting increasingly more tenacious on the perimeter, OKC bested Denver by 12. Isaiah Hartenstein broke down how the Thunder did it:
