After losing the first two games of the series, it was clear that the Thunder were missing Ibaka on both sides of the court. It was initially reported that he would miss the remainder of the postseason, so getting Ibaka great was a very welcome moment for the Thunder.
When the team was introduced for Game 3 on Sunday night, the crowd couldn’t have been happier to see Ibaka back on the court as they gave him a standing ovation when he was announced over the PA system.
