The Oklahoma City Knicks

Yesterday, the Oklahoma City Thunder visited the Minnesota Timberwolves feeling good about the direction they were headed after notching their biggest win of the season the day before against the New York Knicks.  Unfortunately they appeared to be more like tourists than basketball players and got absolutely manhandled by the T-wolves.  All of the momentum, and then some, from the big win are long gone.

Sound familiar?  It should.  It's a near repeat of what OKC did to the Knicks on Monday night.  Sure we didn't beat them as badly and the Knick's win over Boston was bigger than ours over them, but the losses were both equally embarrassing and motivation killers.

There are a few interesting notes from the game.  Nick Collision was the Thunder's leading scoring with 17 points.  Russell Westbrook was second with 16 and added 12 assists to make it a double-double.  Nenad Krstic made his debut for OKC scoring 6 points off of 3 for 8 shooting in about 15 minutes of game time.  On the not so good side, both Kevin Durant and Jeff Green were held to under 10 points marking the first time that Durant didn't score in double digits all season.  The Thunder as a team shot an abysmal 39.8% from the field and were out-rebounded by almost 20.  We won't win any games with performances like that.
