The Thunder came into this game off the win against the Grizzlies on Saturday and wanted to build on that. Instead they ran into a Charlotte Hornets team that was basically hitting everything and not playing like a 9 win team. The Thunder have to get together on the defensive end and try to make sure that every player is accountable on both sides of the ball. One thing about the Thunder is that they never quit and kept battling throughout the night.
The Thunder just couldn’t stop Dwight Howard who looked like the Howard of 2007 against the Thunder tonight with 23 points and 7 rebounds. The Hornets came out aggressively and they had 6 players in double figures on the night and were moving the ball smoothly. The Thunder had to rely on Paul George and Russell Westbrook tonight as they combined for 50 points. OKC was able to score when they wanted too but when the Hornets went off for 40 points in the 3rd quarter coming out of halftime that defintely put a damper on the situation. The Thunder will need to regroup as they will be facing off against the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday.
