Daigneault said Giddey found his rhythm late in the second Milwaukee game with those offensive rebounds.
Daigneault: “He really used effort to try to get himself on track and I thought that was very encouraging. Ever since he’s done that, he’s been back in a good way.” – 3:01 PM

I’ve been stressing on Locked on Thunder don’t panic about Josh Giddey and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s fit it’s a small sample size. They look good together these last few games, and can open up for each other more when 3’s fall, and next year Chet Holmgren certainly makes 3’s. – 1:23 PM

WOW. what a 3 by Giddey in the corner. Spinning around to the Knicks bench for a second. I love the edge he plays with. Josh Giddey ends the half with 14 points, 8 assists, 3 rebounds in 17 minutes. OKC leads 79-73 after a disappointing close to the 1st they recovered. – 1:09 PM

OKC was down 13 points in the 1st quarter.
SGA hits a stepback 3 to tie it and Josh Giddey hits a floater to take the lead in the 2nd quarter.

Clemente Almanza: Josh Giddey on SGA’s performance: “It’s great playing with him. I think our chemistry is going to continue to grow and hopefully we can be a hell of a backcourt for a long time.” -via Twitter @CAlmanza1007 / November 13, 2022
However, Giddey has backed Simmons to be a key player in the World Cup and Olympics campaigns, although the two are likely to compete for the same place in the starting five. “Obviously he was dealing with some things with Philly and then [made] a fresh start in Brooklyn,” Giddey said. “People forget that Ben is an All-Star. He’s one of the best players in the league. He’s obviously going to need time to get on his feet, he hasn’t played in the NBA for a long time. I’m excited for what he can do and hopefully soon we can be part of the Boomers together and help Australia win a gold medal,” Giddey continued. -via BasketNews / November 8, 2022
