Thunder journal: Thunder-Spurs a contrast in pace

CLEVELAND — All season, the Thunder has picked up the pace.

Billy Donovan's team is playing faster than a season ago, faster than any team since the franchise relocated to Oklahoma City in 2008-09. And in the coming weeks, it might make sense to press the pedal even further.

Though Enes Kanter isn't exactly an anchor, the Thunder has played slightly faster with him off the floor than on this season. And with Kanter sidelined by a fractured bone in his right forearm, there could be even more opportunities for OKC to create transition scoring.
