Thunder in second halves (compared to 1st)

Get less shots but more 3 ptas (and hit them a bit better, though still close to league average). Get to line a bit more. Defensive rebound less, as noted elsewhere. Assist a bit less, turn it over a bit more. Steal way less (Russ and PG only get about half as much in second half). Block less. Foul more (including Russ and Steven way up). Hit FTs less regularly. It is a combination of things but defense is overall the bigger issue and the defensive rebounding fall off and the increased fouls are the biggest specific issues. They play slower. They get fewer points in paint and on fast break. Opponents get more points off the break and shoot better overall.

Can't get some player tracking data by half at the moment. NBA.com withholding for some reason, technical or otherwise. What I can see: Best offensive rating in the clutch, Felton. Grant near average, everybody else below. Defense in clutch, Roberson terrible, everybody else horrendous.
