The Thunder set the right tone to this final road trip that caps off a grueling 17-games in 31 days month of January. By holding Sacramento to just 16 first quarter points and only 100 for the entire game on their home court, OKC displayed its ability to get into the jerseys of high-level shooters and to rotate from help positions to tamp down dribble drives. It will have to do that all over again on Friday against Phoenix, whose lineup is littered with elite shooting and players who can make the right pass to free up an open teammate.
