Thunder’s Mark Daigneault shouts out Jared McCain after dominant win over Wizards

Oklahoma City Thunder head coach Mark Daigneault praised guard Jared McCain following a dominant 114-75 victory over the Washington Wizards. McCain sparked the Thunder's bench with 19 points on 8-of-10 shooting, along with five rebounds, two assists, a steal, and a block. Daigneault highlighted McCain's willingness to impact the game outside of scoring, commending his effort in embracing the team's culture.

McCain recently snapped a 0-for-18 shooting slump and credited former teammate Isaiah Joe with teaching him how to stay impactful when shots do not fall. Despite missing injured starters Jalen Williams, Cason Wallace, and Chet Holmgren, Oklahoma City improved to 8-2 on the season with its fourth straight victory.
