For a few moments during the bus ride on I-35 north, 12-year-old Thunder fans Jack and Parker sat still in silence next to each other taking in the window views.
While sightings of the Devon Tower and the rest of the downtown skyline stirred oohs and ahs around them, the boys came to life when they spotted the large window portraits of their hoops idols that wrapped around Chesapeake Energy Arena.
The 25-minute trip from the Norman Boys and Girls Club finally reached the home of Thunder basketball.
As part of the team’s 10th annual Holiday Assist, presented by Cox Communications, Parker and Jack along with 78 of their fellow Club members served as guests of honor at Thunder Night at the Arena on Saturday evening.
