It was the best of games, it was the worst of games.
Forgive my paraphrasing Charles Dickens but how else to explain a Thunder win that saw a brilliant first half result in a total third quarter collapse that, ultimately, Kevin Durant turned into a blowout victory?
Oklahoma City started off the game as an extension of their last win over the Grizzlies; sharp passing and easy buckets. This is the best of OKC, free-wheeling and making that extra pass. Moving crisply and leading to great transition basketball. At the heart of it was Serge Ibaka, who scored nine of OKC’s first 12 points (finishing with a season-high 23 points).
