The Thunder should have been quite tired. They went 2-0 in Florida anyway, pushing record to 22-5
Here’s how the last few days have gone for the Oklahoma City Thunder: Lose the NBA Cup final to Milwaukee in Las Vegas on Tuesday, spend time airborne over four different time zones on Wednesday, win in Orlando on Thursday, win in Miami on Friday

“I’m almost surprised when we don’t answer the bell, no matter how difficult the challenge is," Thunder coach Mark Daigneault said. "These guys have just made a habit of having an uncommon mindset and seeing challenges as opportunities rather than excuses.”
