It doesn’t matter if the OKC Thunder are undersized or undermanned because they always find a way to get the win.

This is a common theme for OKC throughout this season, just look at there 17 point come from behind conquest against the Houston Rockets on Monday. They showed nothing but perseverance and a solid team effort to dig themselves out of a hole.

But that should come as no surprise, as they have consistently done this. Monday’s victory saw the squad tally their fourth-largest resurgence this season. The other three were against the Chicago Bulls (26 points), Memphis Grizzlies (24) and LA Clippers (18).

The OKC Thunder’s insurmountable will is going to make for one great match when they take on the Orlando Magic.
