The Oklahoma City Thunder continue to roll over teams as they have won 15 of their last 18, including 3 consecutive, and they are not looking to slow down any time soon. On Monday, the Thunder knocked off the Pistons in Detroit, who were riding a 7-game winning streak entering the game.
Tonight, the Thunder takes on the Nets in Brooklyn, who are not having such a great season. At 8-17, the Nets have lost 7 in a row. The Nets’ leading scorer Caris LeVert went down with an injury a few weeks ago, and he should be out for some time. Now, the Nets are relying on point guard D’Angelo Russell to lead the way.
The Thunder remains 3rd in the Western Conference, just one win behind the Denver Nuggets and the Los Angeles Clippers, both of which OKC will take on in the next couple of weeks. Tonight’s matchup should be an easy one for the Thunder, which gives them yet another opportunity to move up in the standings.
