It’s been a roller coaster season for the OKC Thunder and their fan base. Understandably Thunder Nation has experienced angst witnessing this squads up and downs.

Initially, it was easy to write off early losses as the team found their footing and learned how to play with each other.

Win streaks were few and far between. And yet, there was always this unshakeable fact this squad could deliver when it mattered most.
