It has been a long April for the OKC Thunder.
With just two games left to go in the month heading into Tuesday’s battle with the Boston Celtics, the Thunder were staring down the genuine possibility of going winless in April.
The Thunder’s last win came against the Toronto Raptors on March 31. What followed was 14 consecutive losses, most of them blowouts, against teams both good and bad.
