To make it even more special, the San Antonio Spurs were in town and this contest also marked the debut of Victor Wembanyama.

The first duel between the talented seven-footers ended in a draw. The Thunder came away with the win, but both Holmgren and Wembanyama were magnificent.

In 16 first-half minutes, Holmgren finished with 21 points on 7-of-10 shooting, nine rebounds and one block.

Let’s look at some of the best tweets/posts reacting to Holmgren’s home debut on X, formerly known as Twitter.
