OKC Thunder grades: Huge team effort in win over Bucks

After three close losses, the OKC Thunder finally broke through for a win against the Milwaukee Bucks. The Thunder started the game slowly, taking until the three-minute mark to get on the board thanks to a Kenrich Williams free throw, and then a minute later the Thunder got their first field goal.

After a solid Thunder run, the rest of the period was tightly contested. The second period started very slowly, with both teams struggling to score. However, when Luguentz Dort and Darius Bazley took over, they ended up leading the Bucks at the half 52-41

Bryn Forbes finally started making his 3-point shots as he collected 12 points for the period as the Bucks came roaring back. This was expected as the Bucks are a very good team and will not go down without a fight in any game they play.

The OKC Thunder took the body blow and responded

The Thunder have had several leads in games, only to have the opposition respond and then not have an answer. However, against the Bucks, they were able to take the body blow in the third period and respond in the last to come away with the win.

Justin Jackson was huge in the final period, making three of his four triples for the game in this period. He was supported during this period by Horford and Bazley, the combination of which was enough to power the Thunder to a victory.
