Thunder showed scrap and fight to keep the game within reach through the first two quarters on Monday. However, in a tale of two halves a lopsided third quarter and a red-hot shooting night from Miami led to a definitive Heat win.
There are no wasted moments on the floor for the Thunder. Every play on the court and every moment in a game is a valuable touchpoint on the Thunder’s feedback loop as it continues to grow as a unit and develop its players. Although the scoreboard fell heavily in Miami’s favor on Monday, it gave every single player down the Thunder roster an opportunity to glean lessons and experiences from those valuable minutes on the floor.
