FansidedGame day preview: OKC Thunder seek to clip Hawks
The OKC Thunder arrive in Atlanta to play the second night of a back to back set. Although the team garnered a win over the Kings last evening once again they flirted with the outcome instead of jumping on what should’ve been an easy victory.
Atlanta is also in a competition to be the worst team in the Association as they attempt to win the tank race. Still, this Hawks squad won’t just roll over and hand the win to the Thunder. Too many players who generally wouldn’t get minutes are looking to make their mark.
Therefore, the OKC Thunder need to jump on Atlanta early via aggressive defense and remove any hope.
Since the Hawks are in more of an evaluation phase, this game is as close to an upper tier G-League squad.
This year the Thunder took the initial meeting in a close game 120-117.
