3 Things to Watch as the thunder take on the 76ers in Philadelphia:
All season, even when they’ve struggled with shooting, OKC has been able to count on their defense, allowing about 104 points per 100 possessions, 2nd best in the league .
But not recently- over the last 6 games, during which they’ve played objectively awful, the Thunder have allowed nearly 120 points per 100 possessions. The only teams with worse defensive ratings — The Cavaliers and Bulls — are tanking. This is embarrassing.
OKC will need to try and turn it around against a top 10 offense.
