The Oklahoma City Thunder have come out of the All-Star break with the NBA's 21st ranked defense. Before the break, the Thunder were first in the NBA in the category and were 3.8 points per 100 possessions better than the Los Angeles Clippers at No. 2.
Some of Oklahoma City's issues have been due to three-point luck of their opponents. Opponents are shooting 38.9 percent on three-pointers since the break, which is the best mark in the NBA.
"They're going to be just fine. They're stacked ... their depth is so good. The fact is they're still finding a way to win," one scout said.
