Thunder Analysis: They’ve won the last 2 series games
After a bit of drama in the initial match and a convincing win in the second, the Oklahoma City Thunder have had a fantastic start to the postseason. They now lead their series 2-0. Their record of 57 victories and 25 losses during the regular season helped them to finish as the Western Conference’s top seed. It’s evident that the Oklahoma City Thunder’s biggest weakness is lack of experience. They had multiple opportunities to win the game and prevent a stressful conclusion, which was especially clear in the opening game. In those situations, they made snap judgments and repeatedly turned the ball over, underscoring the need for development as the series goes on.

With 49 wins and 33 losses, they concluded the regular season and play-in as the 8th seed. The New Orleans Pelicans haven’t had the best season so far. Despite making it to the postseason, there are questions about their potential. There isn’t much cause for confidence after the first two games against the Western Conference’s top-seeded squad.
