ATLANTA – The Thunder is looking for its winning ways to continue. Now it must handle its business on its first multiple-game road trip.
Tonight against the Atlanta Hawks, the Thunder wants to play the same “connected” defense that generated victories in its last four contests, including three at home. On the offensive end, it wants to play with the same force, verve and togetherness that has propelled it to be one of the highest rated offenses in the league thus far.
With five players averaging in double figures plus another five in the rotation each averaging between five and six points per contest, the Thunder has found balance in its offense while still relying on Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook as their primary scorers and facilitators.
