The Thunder strung together 48 minutes of competitive basketball in the midst of a back-and-forth, low-scoring contest. Boston refused to go down without a fight which set up an exciting, clutch game that required a full-team effort, clutch free throws and hustle down the stretch.
During the injury and adversity-ridden stretch OKC endured throughout the month of April, it never wavered in its identity. Playing as a team, playing aggressively and competing for 48 minutes are all core tenants for Thunder head coach Mark Daigneault’s squad and coming off of a tough loss to Philly the night before, the Thunder had an opportunity to put its resiliency and identity to the test inside of TD Garden on Tuesday.
