OKC Thunder in the news: the underlying victories in season-opener loss

As one could have speculated, the OKC Thunder fell short to the Warriors with Westbrook and Roberson on the bench. However, the eight point loss had its advantages, showcasing OKC’s depth and asset Dennis Schroder.

Our progress was evident despite the loss:

Let’s be real, without OKC’s lead player equipped to aid in the fight with the Warriors, expectations for Tuesday night’s game weren’t too high. The odds were against the OKC Thunder, but the situation gave the team room to experiment with the lineup and game play which nearly resulted in the win. The less-than-high expectations gave OKC the advantage to play more freely and risky.
