Although there aren’t points awarded for moral victories this match between the OKC Thunder and Boston Celtics offered plenty to be proud of for this young team.
It was noted in the grades and preview just how closely these two clubs always seem to play each other and this match was no different. And while the result didn’t go the way Thunder fans were hoping there were many positives to pull from the game.
Make no mistake the Boston Celtics are a contender for the title – whether they possess enough frontcourt size to deal with any of the other East’s powers will be the biggest factor for them as they wage their battle for Larry O’B.
