Good news Thunder Nation. Oklahoma City laid their normal “dud against a bad team” last night but still came out with a win. That’s mostly because of a superstar by the name of Russell Westbrook.
We all know by now what Russ did at the end of the game; I don’t want to beat a dead horse.
Credit must go to an amazing defensive effort in the last 3:30 minutes of the game. Dallas went scoreless in that time, missing six field goals and turning the ball over two times. Naturally Andre Roberson’s defense on Harrison Barnes was key – the ex-Warrior missed all three of his attempts – but it was the overall team effort that saved Oklahoma City.
