Last night’s game was a solid statement win in what has become a heated rivalry with the Utah Jazz. The OKC Thunder need to build off it to earn a win at home tomorrow against the Brooklyn Nets before hitting the road again against a stout Indiana Pacers team.
As if that weren’t tough enough, Oklahoma City then comes back home to face off against the conference leading Warriors.
Should the Thunder walk away with three more consecutive wins, they’ll be flying high and ready to take on the world. There’s something good to be said for having the toughest schedule following the All-Star break.
No other team will be more prepared for playoff competition than the OKC Thunder, and it started last night when the Thunder went on the road to give the Jazz the blues.
