The Thunder clearly have incredible chemistry on (and off) the floor.

Holmgren finished the victory with 25 points, 14 rebounds, five assists, two steals and four blocks while shooting 11/18 from the field and 0/5 from the three-point range in 36 minutes of playing time.

He is in his second year in the NBA, and many believe he is on the verge of becoming an All-Star.
