Oklahoma City Thunder, coach Daigneault: “We want to improve through the series”

These the statements of Mark Daigneault, Oklahoma City Thunder’s coach, reported by ESPN after game 3 against Denver:

“It’s obviously lousy to lose. But you can take a lot away, and we want to be a team that’s improving through the series. … I thought we did a lot of good things did a lot of good things on Jokic. It was a really hard-fought game by both teams. It wasn’t an easy game for anybody. Losses always sting, especially in the playoffs. But what I would say is we are in the process of becoming a great team, and we’ve checked a lot of boxes in that process. One thing that it takes to be a great team is you get taken to the limit in the playoffs, and you’ve got a rise to the challenges that you’re confronted with.”
