Oklahoma City has maintained one of the NBA's best defenses this season while missing of the team's best players for most of the year.

Although he still hasn't been fully reintegrated into the OKC Thunder offense, Chet Holmgren's impact on winning has been tremendous since returning to the court.

Introduced as the first starter, Chet Holmgren received a roaring ovation. The OKC crowd showed off their excitement and appreciation for the 22-year-old's return after a three-month absence that rivals an entire NBA offseason.
