To start the season the OKC Thunder are 0-2. Unlike their first match facing a loaded All-Star squad this game was deemed winnable. Although there were hints Russell Westbrook would return it was deemed he wasn’t ready to play quite yet. At one point Westbrook was seen with a jersey peeking out of his suit on the bench. In the end, the Thunder could have used his services as this lack luster loss was not expected.
Both the Thunder and LA Clippers came into Friday Night searching for their first win of the win. The Clippers dropped their home opener to the Denver Nuggets Wednesday, while the Thunder lost a tough one in Golden State Tuesday night.
