You can blame the Thunder offense for a 131-120 loss to the Sacramento Kings in a deflating Chesapeake Arena opener Sunday night. The Thunder missed 30 3-point shots and 11 foul shots. You can blame the Thunder defense. The traditionally woeful Kings apparently are one of the NBA's best shooting teams, but Sacramento didn't need to bother.
