Lachance has such an awesome story. He grew up speaking French and just started speaking English fluently a few years ago. He started his college career playing for Skip Johnson's son, Tyler, who was the HC at McLennan Community College.
"Staying with the family, that was a good thing for him, and we're pretty grateful for that," Lachance's dad said.
Dear OKC,
We were blessed with the opportunity by @HEB to go to your city for game 7 and… wow.
Transparently, with all the responses we’ve gotten from OKC fans on here, we thought a lot of hate was waiting for us at Paycom but we couldn’t have been more wrong.
99% of your fans were so kind and welcoming, even congratulating each and every one of us after the win. The pregame chant battles were nothing but respectful and filled with friendly banter.
There is a common sentiment that you have some of the loudest fans in the NBA and that might just be true. Every single one of you on your feet the entire game, every single OKC fan in the shirt, and your use of the clappers is impeccable. An hour before tip and the arena was already full. We’re still biased towards San Antonio, but if we’re looking for a second place in crowd environment, you guys are up there.
We know that this will not be the last time we see OKC in a playoff run, I imagine it’ll be a fairly consistent thing, but after 12 games this season, your real fanbase definitely has our respect and we can’t help but tip our hat.
Thank you for being an amazing host to us, we hope all of your players get healthy, and can’t wait for the NBA’s newest big rivalry to continue.

It is crazy that SGA name getting dragged through mud. the kid has character, good father and family man. these dudes on national TV are just smearing his name like crazy. All for clicks.
This run is nowhere near Wade 2006, if that happened today. Wade may be in the same light.
THIS APP IS A MISINFORMATION POOL!
Entering the WCF with Tony Brothers as the official:
San Antonio was 7-0 and averaged +1.7 more free throws than the opponent.
Oklahoma was 3-2 and averaged -2.4 free throws.
STOP FALLING FOR FAKE INFO
Yes it could’ve been called goal tending.
You have to call a timeout if you want to challenge. Basic rule that should be easy to understand.
That Brothers and Dort clip was after Dort got called for a foul.
Misinformation is killing people’s ability to think for themselves.
The problem with social media is everyone will throw a tantrum over two bad calls but ignore the Spurs giving up 100 points in three quarters to a team missing two key players.
The referees were correct in denying Mitch Johnson that challenge. The rule is very specific: he needs to first call timeout, then challenge. He never signaled for the timeout before signaling for the challenge.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has played 35 playoff games over the last 2 seasons, shooting 334 FT attempts in that span.
His 334 attempts rank outside of the top 1,000 for most FT Attempts in any 35-game playoff span in NBA History.
He remains the Finals MVP Favorite on Kalshi.
