The Oklahoma City Thunder came into Friday’s game against Minnesota after losing four out of five to the Pelicans, Pistons, Mavericks and Magic. The lone win during that time came over the Golden State Warriors. The Warriors forward Carmelo Anthony was quoted after the loss in Orlando as they are “mad” not “frustrated” about the slow start.
The Thunder are led in scoring by Paul George and his 20+ points per game. George and Anthony came over in the offseason to join Russell Westbrook. The Thunder are having a tough time scoring, as they are 24th in the league with just over 102 points per game.

Thunder Get Back on Track
We have been saying this for awhile now – but this is the game that gets the Oklahoma City Thunder back on track. The Thunder have stepped up and played well against some of the best teams in the league, and that’s what the Spurs are.
