OKC Thunder demonstrate early defensive prowess with room for growth

The OKC Thunder ranks as one of the best teams in the league defensively, but there is still room to improve. TI examines what the team is doing well, what they can improve on, and what to expect when the squad is 100 percent.

Where OKC Thunder excel:

OKC Thunder is ranked number one in steals so far this season with 11.4 per game. Their closest competitor in this category is the Memphis Grizzlies who register 10.1 per game.

Being adept at snagging steals allows the Thunder to get out in transition and score buckets on the fast break.
