The Oklahoma City Thunder hopes to bounce back after blowing a big lead and losing in overtime against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Monday.

Thunder head coach Mark Daigneault stresses the importance of "throwing the first punch" and maintaining intensity to avoid another late-game collapse.

The Thunder is a heavy favorite against Brooklyn, based on their previous 26-point victory over the Nets.

Isaiah Hartenstein is cleared to play, despite a nasal fracture. He will be wearing a protective mask during the game. Brooklyn is missing key starters, which will likely give the Thunder the edge.

Thunder players are keeping their eye on the ball after Monday's loss and are looking to redeem themselves. They emphasize treating every possession with urgency and acknowledging past mistakes where that urgency was lost.

More coverage of Coach Daigneault's insights will be shared following the game at Barclays Center.
