The Oklahoma City Thunder engaged in a tight contest against the Boston Celtics on Friday night in Oklahoma City. The Thunder put together an impressive first half but failed to execute in the 2nd half. The Celtics would grind out a 101-94 victory after outscoring the Thunder 64-39 in the 2nd half.
In the first half, the Thunder looked like a well-oiled machine that just overpowered the Celtics at every turn. The defense was stifling, the offense was flowing freely and the crowd was in a frenzy. Russell Westbrook knocked down threes and yelled to the crowd, Carmelo Anthony was engaged on the boards, and Paul George continued to find his groove.
