Sadly, The OKC Thunder lost their first round match-up against the Houston Rockets, but that did not stop them from gaining the valuable commodity of experience.
Going into the playoffs, the Thunder had the youngest team in the playoffs, so struggles were inevitable. They lost all three of their games on the road, something they struggled with all year.
On the bright side, two of the road losses could have easily been wins had the team been able to maintain late game shooting efficiency.
Even though we lost the series, experience is something that teams value a lot.
