It’s a testament to how well the Thunder have been playing lately that fans were genuinely shocked that they lost a road game to a solid Kings team. It was even more surprising that OKC let a late game double digit lead go in the closing minutes. And maybe most surprising they let the Kings get off a great look (granted, after playing very good defense most of the possession) for the game winning shot.
OKC has been playing with such steady, high IQ and doing all the little things that win games in the clutch over the past couple of weeks that a performance like tonight’s felt like a bit of regression.
