After losing a heartbreaker Sunday night, the Oklahoma City Thunder needed a strong performance to get back to their winning ways. With a strong defensive performance and a steady offensive showing, Oklahoma City evened their record at 2-2 with a 114-96 victory over the Indiana Pacers.
The Thunder came out with great energy to start the game and played with good pace throughout the contest. OKC seemed sluggish in their previous two losses, so it was encouraging to see them play with some fire tonight. Carmelo Anthony (more on him later) was a player that was notably fired up and played extremely well tonight.
