The Oklahoma City Thunder want to improve on what they did last season, where they were one of the worst teams, and this season they haven’t started in the best way by having two losses in a row. They lost to the Minnesota Timberwolves (115-108) and Denver Nuggets (122-117), so they still don’t know what it’s like to win.
The Los Angeles Clippers want to get back to the postseason after last year’s failure, and they’re off to a great start. They were able to beat their neighbors, the Lakers, 103-97, and then the Sacramento Kings, 111-109, both playing as visitors. Now they return to their people and want to continue with that positive streak. Paul George is the figure in this beginning.
