After playing more games in January than any of their counterparts the OKC Thunder needed a mini break and got that over last weekend prior to their games in week 16 on Wednesday, Friday and the impending match today (Sunday).
Although, the Thunder appeared somewhat refreshed they seemed a little out of sync in both the Cavaliers and Pistons games.
In fairness, imagine the emotional toll of getting through the trade deadline not sure what event(s) might occur to affect either your own personal voyage or that of a teammate. Think of how much time the club spends together.
