Westbrook’s Problem: It’s far more than just a shooting slump

A few weeks ago, I wrote a post about how the Thunder this season have a shot to regain their reputation as a top heavy-weight team in the NBA. I generally mentioned how weak over the past years the Thunder were in executing the 4th quarter, and how important it is to generate reliable offense in the last quarter of the game to pull out victories. I cannot deny that the Thunder’s ability to close out games yet remains a liability, with three losses in the last 10 days alone coming down to the final possession.
