3 Big Things
- Putting the Magic in a straightjacket. Orlando is 25th in offensive rating, and without Paulo Banchero. Unless the Magic pull rabbit out of their hat, the Thunder should constrain another foe to dismal scoring.
- On the offensive. The Thunder are ticking back up in offensive efficiency, themselves. But Orlando is another young, forceful defense, and a good test for OKC's improving shooting and playmaking.
- Sleepy schedule. Oklahoma City only had one day off after a 3-in-4 road trip ended in LA late Saturday night.
