In terms of OKC’s draft pick, this game was crucial to lose. The Pistons have the second-worst record in the NBA, and the Thunder creep closer to a bottom-five record, which could drastically improve their lottery odds.
It might be too late in the season, but if the Thunder improves their draft odds, they need to start losing games now.
We are starting to get at the point of the season where the roster becomes fluid and somewhat unrecognizable. Today’s game featured two players who were just signed hours ago playing significant minutes.
