Re: Thunderstruck | Oklahoma City Thunder Dynasty
Thunder strike in Season Opening Blowout
The Oklahoma City Thunder absolutely destroyed the San Antonio Spurs on the road. With a final score of 123-84 this can only mean that the Thunder are going to fulfill their promise of coming back harder than last season. The Spurs were just shutdown throughout the game and the Thunder didn't let them score a single point in the last 4 minutes of the 4th quarter. We spoke with Tony Parker after the game and he had this to say: "We didn't play tough enough to deserve a win. They were the better team and they had us on lock." Kevin Durant has had some words after the game: "I personally felt like we gradually up'ed the ante and started to put more pressure on them as the game went on. We all were shooting pretty bad at the start of the game, especially me but, we started to dominate after the second half." Sefolosha shot 100% from 3 Point Range, Ibaka got a double double with 14 Points & 11 Rebounds and the Durant, Westbrook duo combined for 48 Points on the night. Let's see if the Thunder can keep this going throughout the season.
