There’s an old saying, popularized by the James Bond movie Goldfinger, that goes, “Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. Three times is a pattern.”
When the Thunder lost by 1 point in overtime on the road against LeBron James and the NBA champion Lakers without Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and George Hill, it seemed very much like a fluke.
When the Thunder lost by 2 points on the road against Nikola Jokic and the Western Conference runner-up Nuggets without SGA and Hill, okay kinda crazy, but mostly just a small sample size of back to back over performing performances.
