New coach Scott Brooks took advantage of the three day break the team had after their well needed road wi against the Memphis Grizzlies on Saturday night. Most of the practices were focus on the defensive end. Brooks says the Thunder are giving up too many points in the game which makes their opponents numbers too high. The Thunder rank sixth in the league with allowing their opponents to score 102.7 points per game. Brooks wants those numbers to come down to a lower number for opponents. Techiques such has full court scrimmages, one-on-one scrimmages and individual defensive drills were the sets the team emphasis on in practice.
