3 Big Things
- Shooting. The Thunder need to shoot better. I have no other offensive analysis than that, other than Chet needs more lift on his shot.
- Slowing Trae Young. Mark Daigneualt says Oklahoma City isn't doing any advanced scheming yet. Still, these are heady defenders working within a scheme, and slowing the wily, bearded Trae Old (as more than a scorer) is the obvious key to stopping Atlanta.
- Game 1 of sorts.
