Terrance Ferguson scored a season-high 19 points in the Thunder’s 127-119 overtime win over Philadelphia Friday night.
His performance alone was something to be excited about, but there was one thing that made it even more special – his daughter was there to see it.
Ferguson told reporters in the locker room afterward that it was his daughter’s first home game.
“It was my daughter’s first home game, so I was excited for that,” Ferguson said. “One for the books.”

As noted by Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman, prior to the win over the 76ers, Ferguson “made only five 3-pointers in his last seven games.”
According to Mussatto, Ferguson also credited his big night to Steven Adams.
“It was Steve-O as well,” he said of Thunder center Steven Adams. “Every time I caught the ball, Steve-O was like, ‘shoot it.’ I don’t have no choice but to shoot it when Steve-O tells me to.”
Ferguson missed Tuesday’s 111-85 loss to the Pacers for personal reasons as he did not travel with the Thunder to Indiana due to a custody hearing regarding his daughter.
