Oklahoma City did a very good job against the Celtics a few days ago. The Thunder’s intensity caught the Celtics’ off guard and the Thunder were able to race away to a victory. As a rule, wins in scrimmages should not be read into all that much. Boston did not play their starting lineup at all during the second half.
However, I enjoyed watching the game that the Thunder played. Oklahoma City played with energy and speed. There were a lot of encouraging signs that the Thunder are ready to play basketball in the bubble no matter the circumstances.
