The Thunder's rim protector has transformed Oklahoma City's defense with his unique blend of size, timing and instinct. Midway through the second quarter against Cleveland on February 22, 2026, Nae'Qwan Tomlin drove hard to the basket looking to cut into OKC's 11-point advantage. Holmgren rotated from the weak side and met Tomlin at the rim, rejecting the driving layup attempt with authority to preserve the Thunder's momentum. Tomlin recovered the loose ball, only to meet the same fate yet again. The 7-footer anchored OKC's defense all afternoon, recording 3 blocks to go with 17 points and 15 rebounds in the 121-113 win. · Feb 22, 2026
