As the OKC Thunder head into 2019 with 36 games complete they boast a record of 23-13 and sit in the third seed. Denver currently resides in the top seat (also with 23 wins) with a one game edge since they’ve played two fewer games. Likewise, Golden State is seeded second based on the same amount of losses as the Thunder but have two extra wins.
In the home and home, back to back set the Thunder played versus the Mavericks it served to highlight the worst and very best of the squad. In fact, if I was to select a game the Thunder should bottle as an example for their remaining 46 games the win Monday would serve as the perfect template.
