Well last night was another game between the OKC Thunder and the Phoenix Suns. This game was a shut out from the start. During the first 3 quarters the Thunder kept the suns from scoring 20 points in each quarter. This was really big for the Thunder, since during a game against the Bobcats where the cats were held to just 69 total points. Sefolosha had a monster night going 5 - 7 beyond the arc for 3's, and he was only 2 points away from tying his career high. Durant and Jackson led the way in rebounds, while Westbrook led the team in assits with 6. As a team the Thunder did an amazing job against the Suns with 44.7% in Field goals, 52.9% in 3 pointers, 74.1% at the line, and only caused 7 fouls. Once the 4th quarter started, none of the starters played again, and the bench was able to hold off the Suns and route them to only 69 points. It could of been 67 and make it a season low for the Thunder to allow if there was not a turn over in the last 31 seconds of the game. Regardless of if the Thunder kept the suns to 67, this was a great game.
With this win it still keeps the the Thunder 1.5 games beind the Spurs for the top slot in the West. Tomorrows game will be away at the Utah Jazz, and by the record that the Jazz hold this could be a great game. Then on V-day we have a rematch from the NBA championship game against the Heat. This will be the game that I am looking forward too. If the Thunder can get under James's skin and cause him to start missing. We should be able to pull off the win.
