How the Thunder can fix their defense & offense ahead of a pivotal game 3

It’s crunch time for the Oklahoma City Thunder. Despite being the lower seed in this first round matchup against the Portland Trail Blazers, there was good reason to view the Thunder as the likeliest team to pull a first round upset. They swept the Blazers in the regular season and Portland is without their third best player, center Jusuf Nurkic. And yet, after missing out on a a chance to steal game 1 on the road and then getting trounced in game 2, the Thunder find themselves down 0-2 as they head back to Oklahoma City.
