Here’s the thing. These games are going to happen to the OKC Thunder all year. They are young. And still fairly inexperienced playing together. But you can’t help but love these games frustrated.
Oklahoma City jumped out to an early 27-13 lead behind a strong Steven Adams first quarter. He scored 12 points on 5-5 shooting from the field and 2-2 from the line; he got six attempts the rest of the game.
Russell Westbrook had an off shooting night-and in typical Russ fashion-decided to keep shooting instead of feeding the hot hands on his team.
