It took the Thunder 22 games last season to win 10.
On Saturday, the Thunder has a chance to win its 10th game of the season in Game No. 15. Some of the Thunder's success this season has been due to a soft schedule. The Thunder has four of its nine wins against teams which are currently seven games or more under .500 (Cleveland, Atlanta, Phoenix twice). On Saturday, the Thunder will go for its third win against Phoenix this season.
What the Thunder has shown is improvement against sub-.500 teams from last season to now.
After beating the Knicks on Wednesday, Thunder coach Billy Donovan didn't come out and say his team took lesser teams for granted last season, but admitted the players and staff had conversations over the offseason about those types of games.
