Whether it’s a bad habit or a matter of focus the way the OKC Thunder starts games and how they hit the hardwood coming out of the half has been their greatest weakness.
After a tough January schedule, there was some minor slippage by the club which was easily explained given the wear and tear. Fatigue levels hit a peak with the eye test providing evidence to that effect at the end of the month. Although wins were collected, a few games weren’t won as easily as they were prior to the jam-packed January itinerary.
The clutch time kings sure have made for an entertaining season.
