OKC Thunder faced challenges with a 2-9 start in 3-point range. Despite a close game against the Jazz, they struggled against physical teams like Denver. However, they secured a significant road win against the defending champions, Denver Nuggets, and are now preparing to face the Memphis Grizzlies at home.

OKC looks to avoid letdown after a statement W. Great perspective from other side from Nick and Paris https://t.co/LrRPRsWzn0
Really felt like Denver controlled that one throughout and just kind of had OKC at arm's length. OKC just kept it within 10, kept hanging in, got a stop here and there, and kept scoring.
OKC is two really smart, talented, and PHYSICAL teams.
Counting tonight’s 2-9 start, OKC is 44 for its past 141 from 3-point range. And that’s with an 18-38 night against the Jazz in the mix.
Another challenge for OKC.
