OKC dropped its 3rd straight loss on Sunday to the Houston Rockets. That’s now 5 out of 6 in the loss column for a team in desperate need of wins. Tonight the Thunder hosts the Spurs. Not the Spurs of December that had everyone questioning them again, this Spurs team is rolling (won 11 of last 13) and looks like a legitimate contender to repeat as champs.
The Thunder’s defense continues to plummet, but could get some much needed assistance with the return of Andre Roberson. He’ll come off the bench and play limited minutes.
3 Big Things
1. Containing Parker
2. Defending the 3
3. Get out in Transition
