Thunder

The short-term picture shows Oklahoma City seeking to maintain its offensive rhythm in a bid to wrap up a four-game homestand with three consecutive wins. That may lead to long-term benefits of the Thunder's reserve players further defining their roles in the rotation against a reeling Phoenix Suns team whose season is quickly going off the rails.
After a Christmas Day loss Chicago, the Thunder (22-10) have run up 253 points in beating Denver and Milwaukee, shooting 53.8 percent from the field and 90.2 percent (55 of 61) from the foul line. While stars Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook have hovered right around their respective scoring averages of 26.6 and 25.6, respectively, and combined for 109 points, it's been Oklahoma City's bench that has provided an extra push.
