Though they pulled out the win, their recent three-point shooting woes continued, as they finished with a mere clip of 24.3 percent.
Had they not closed out the game on a 19-5 run over the final four minutes, the game would've marked their fifth loss of the season in which OKC had shot under 30.0 percent from range.
