Thunder journal: OKC is starting to see results from focus on 3-point defense

NEW YORK — Thunder coach Billy Donovan can recite Thunder opponents' 3-point percentages off the top of his head, and leading into OKC's game at Philadelphia on Saturday he didn't like the trend he was seeing.

But keeping the 76ers to 34.4 percent from beyond the arc in the Thunder's 117-115 win was enough for Donovan to say he was happy with his team's defense.

“We really worked today,” Donovan said after the game. “We did not do a great job in the first half at the 3-point line. We were OK. I thought in the third quarter we were really good limiting their number of attempts.
