A game after seeing signs of hope for Chet Holmgren on the boards, I'm back to being alarmed over OKC's weakness on the glass. As good as the Thunder are in most phases of the game, they are simply the very worst rebounding team among playoff teams. They give up second chances at a rate that is almost league-worst, and are actually league-worst in getting their own offensive boards.
Some of their rebounding numbers are inflated by their excellent block rate, but it’s also juiced by their three-point defense, which is among the worst in the league in both volume and efficiency.
