Thunder escape the hive un-stung
The Hornets have given the Thunder trouble in recent years. But, on November 1, OKC went on the road and took care of business in Charlotte behind a career-high 25-points courtesy of Alex Abrines.

Steven Adams, like his teammate Russell Westbrook, can be a bit persnickety when it comes to an NBA court. Just like Russ has done in the past Adams took over mop duty to ensure the job was done correctly. As the old phrase says ‘If you want something done right, do it yourself’.
We’ve all been there

More wise words from AD
We are watching Alex Abrines grow into one heck of an NBA basketball player right before our eyes.

This is a fantastic plan
The Thunder solved their terrible shooting issue by just letting Alex Abrines shoot it all the time.

The Thunder went into Charlotte and built off their strong second half against the Clippers. Perhaps the Thunder’s recent performances are a mirage, but they certainly appear to be authentic.
