After pure chaos went down in Denver on Thursday night, all signs pointed to the Thunder lacking energy in game two of their back-to-back. The signs were unfortunately correct, as OKC was absolutely gassed down the stretch last night. It was a classic “schedule loss.”
This was the Thunder’s fourth game in five nights, not to mention their fifth game in a row where they have changed time zones. It wasn’t all bad. In fact the Thunder had a double digit lead in the early going, but it was all downhill from there.
OKC has now lost three in a row, and there’s plenty of concerns with this group since the loss of Andre Roberson a week ago.
