When the OKC Thunder faced off against the Washington Wizards on January 6, it was an ugly game. Washington came in having lost six of their previous 10 games. That did not prevent the Wizards from handing Oklahoma City their most lopsided loss of the season, 116-98.
Oklahoma City played so poorly what looked like an aberration, actually resulted in a positive trend. On that night versus the Wizards, OKC shot 10-25, 40.0 percent from beyond the arc. The game marked the eighth instance this season OKC shot 40 percent or better from the perimeter.
