Prediction:
If the OKC Thunder follow this formula they will win the ballgame, if not they could be in for a long night and risk losing two in a row for the first time since starting 0-4. Unfortunately, I am taking the Jazz tonight behind strong performances from Mitchell and Rubio.
Enjoy the game Thunder Nation, if you will be in attendance this evening be safe, have fun, get loud and Thunder Up!
