u26a1A rare test?
OKC hasn't had much difficulty disposing of good, bad, or indifferent teams over its seven-game win streak. Miami put up a noble fight through three quarters last night, going up 93-63 on Oklahoma City before crumbling under a 24-0 run led by SGA (he had 14 of his 32 points in the stampede). The Thunder winning by just 14 feels like a thriller these days.
Minnesota is better in theory than they have been on the court this season, but facing a Western semifinalist, on the road for the second night of a back-to-back, with one eye on the All-Star break beginning when the game is over.
