Ever since Kevin Durant left the OKC Thunder a few years ago, Oklahoma City reinvented themselves as a defense-first squad, suffocating teams with their length and athleticism. Occasionally, they had some incredible offensive performances but they relied almost entirely on their defense to win games on a nightly basis.

OKC has morphed into an offensive juggernaut after ranking dead last through the first month and a half of the season. While some are skeptical of its sustainability, the offensive explosions have become regular with the transformation a product of the team’s growth.
