MILWAUKEE – The Thunder was pushed against the ropes, as nearly every road team is at least once during the course of a game. With resolve and steadiness, the team course-corrected and made a crucial push to attain victory.
In a 104-96 win over the Milwaukee Bucks on Sunday afternoon, the Thunder had to stave off a huge 24-4 run late in the third quarter. Even after a Khris Middleton three-pointer that cut a 21-point down to just two at 84-82, the Thunder stayed calm and responded with a gradual 16-4 spurt over the next eight minutes of play.
