The Oklahoma City Thunder try to extend their current winning streak to two games against the lottery-bound Sacramento Kings at 7 p.m. cst. The game is in front of the home fans, which should get the Thunder over the hump, but the fact remains that a talented Thunder team that should be riding high in the standings is 9 and 8 against teams whose futures will depend on the number of ping-pong balls with their name on it go in a hopper.
Prior to the LA trip, Paul George didn’t want to use the word complacent but admitted the team tended to not go into games like this with the necessary focus.
