The first half of the 2020-21 season is complete and the OKC Thunder enters the All-Star break riding the wave of victory. A result of their efforts versus the Spurs on Thursday, and their second such win versus San Antonio in eight days.
As Intentions noted in the preview, the last match played prior to the break is considered one of the four most difficult each season.
To wit, many young squads were on the losing side such as the Pistons, Grizzlies, Pelicans and Kings.
