The Thunder had a dominant week, to say the least. OKC added four wins to their record, but they did it with an exclamation point. Those victories were won by an average of 25.5 points and all by at least 21. The average score to those games? 114-88. Last week goes on record as being the single most dominant week in Thunder history. Here are a few stats from last week’s wins:

·      The Thunder averaged 26.5 assists.

·      In the four wins, the Thunder shot an impressive 50.1 percent from the field.

·      Another promising number: 51.1 percent from behind the arc

·      It is clear that OKC can put the ball in the basket, but the 12 steals per game also shows that some defense can be played too.

As the NBA gets ready for the All-Star Break, the Thunder are peaking at just the right time. OKC hits the road to take on the Jazz, then hosts Miami before the break. Both Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook will be taking the court for the West All-Stars on Saturday night in Houston.
