There’s thousands of tiny moments within a basketball game that determine the final score. A shot rims out. A whistle blows unexpectedly. Someone cuts to the rim when a teammate thought they would flare to the corner. Everything is uncertain and records mean nothing once the ball is tipped, the competitive battle begins and players are put in situations that test their skill, preparation and focus.
That’s why, in Tuesday’s battle at Chesapeake Energy Arena against the Los Angeles Lakers, in the swirl of all of that in-game chaos, not to mention the macro-level situation as the team has dropped five of its past six home games, the Thunder is laser-locked on the hustle-centric parts of the game.
