In a game characterized by some momentum-swinging runs, the Thunder kept its cool down the stretch and came away with its 14th win in its last 19 “clutch-time” games, and the eighth win in its last nine road games.
Going up against one of the best defensive teams in the league, one allowing under 100 points per game at home, the Thunder managed to be the squad to clamp down first, setting a tone of control that simmered under the surface for the entirety of a thrilling 120-114 road win over the Orlando Magic.
Head Coach Billy Donovan’s club held Orlando to just 3-of-13 shooting including 0-for-5 by big man Nikola Vucevic to start this game off.
