It feels like eons since the OKC Thunder dispensed of a team quite so easily. In close to a 30 point win margin however, that is precisely what the team did last evening. Yes, the same Suns squad who pushed the Thunder to extremes just to capture a victory. That March 2 victory required a second half comeback and full utilization of the stars.
Thursday, the situation was entirely different. First of all the Thunder won every quarter. In another rarity four of the five starters sat the entire fourth quarter. The one issue I have with the win (well, that’s an understatement, because I’m still on the free Patrick Patterson train) is why it was necessary to play Paul George so many minutes in a blowout.
