In their last game against the Atlanta Hawks, despite a loss with 138 points scored, the Thunder demonstrated an explosive third quarter by putting up 44 points. Their field goal percentage stood at an impressive 55 percent with a true shooting percentage of 67 percent. They also showed prowess from beyond the arc, hitting half of their three-point attempts.


The game prior saw them victorious over the Boston Celtics with a scoreline of 127-123. The Thunder led for over two-thirds of that game and showcased balanced scoring across all four quarters. Their effective field goal percentage was notable at 63 percent and they maintained an assist-to-turnover ratio of 3.4 – indicating efficient ball handling and distribution.


Against the Brooklyn Nets earlier in January, Oklahoma City came out on top with a score of 124-108. They dominated time leading and capitalized on fast-break opportunities by scoring 16 fast-break points.


While these statistics paint an optimistic picture for Oklahoma City fans, it's important to note that playing away from home can introduce new challenges. The atmosphere at Barclays Center is known to be electric and could energize the Nets while adding pressure on visiting teams.


Oklahoma City will need to leverage its offensive efficiency while tightening up defensively if they want to secure another win against Brooklyn. With both teams having faced each other before this season, adjustments from previous encounters will play a crucial role in determining who comes out ahead.


Fans can catch this thrilling encounter scheduled for January 6th at Eastern Time (ET) on BSOK channel number 675 or YES network channel number 631 depending on your location.
