Six games into its season, the Thunder is one of the NBA's best defensive teams.
Game seven brings a whole different sort of challenge.
When Oklahoma City takes on the Bucks Tuesday in Milwaukee, it'll be tasked with slowing forward Giannis Antetokounmpo. So far, nobody's had much success with that.
The 6-foot-11, 235-pound Antetokounmpo leads the NBA in scoring at 34.7 points per game. He's averaging 10.7 rebounds, 5.5 assists, two steals and a block. He scores 23.7 points per game in the paint, 5.7 more than any other player.
“I think the biggest thing with him is trying to take away that deep paint where he's getting all the way to the rim, because then he's a monster finishing,” Thunder coach Billy Donovan said.
