After dropping the first two games in Portland at the Moda Center the OKC Thunder return home to try to replicate the Blazers efforts and even up the series. Looking back through history although it’s not inconceivable the odds don’t favor the Thunder. That said, this squad seems to thrive on having their backs against the wall and tends to deliver their best efforts in these scenarios.
Case in point, at season end the OKC Thunder were in free fall having lost 13 of their 20 games coming out of the break and dropped to the eighth seed.
