Can Oklahoma City Thunder Outshine Boston Celtics at TD Garden?

As the Oklahoma City Thunder prepare to face the Boston Celtics, fans are eager to see if their team can continue its impressive run. The Thunder have been on a tear lately, with a dominant 123-103 victory over the Toronto Raptors on March 22nd and a strong performance against the Utah Jazz that resulted in a 119-107 win just one day prior. In both games, OKC showcased their ability to control the game's tempo and execute on both ends of the court.

Against Toronto, OKC led for an overwhelming 34 minutes and 18 seconds, demonstrating their capability to maintain leads once established. Their efficiency game score of 109.5 was indicative of their overall performance – they were effective in fast breaks (24 points), dominated points in paint (64), and capitalized on turnovers (37 points off turnovers). This level of play is what fans have come to expect from OKC this season.

The Thunder's recent matchup with Utah further solidified their status as contenders. They outpaced the Jazz with an impressive fast break percentage of 75 percent which translated into a substantial 35 fast break points. Their bench also contributed significantly with 21 points, showing depth that could be crucial against a well-rounded Celtics team.

OKC's last outing before facing Boston was against Memphis Grizzlies where they secured another win scoring 118-112. The game was tight with eight times tied and lead changes happening twenty-one times; however, OKC managed to pull through thanks largely due to their efficiency from two-point range (64 percent) and maintaining control for over half an hour.

The upcoming clash at TD Garden will be no easy feat as Boston has proven themselves formidable opponents this season. However, given OKC’s recent form – particularly their offensive prowess demonstrated by an average field goal percentage hovering around the mid-fifties across these games – there is reason for optimism among Thunder supporters.

With key players stepping up when it matters most and contributions coming from all areas of the roster, Oklahoma City Thunder has shown they are not just participants but serious competitors this season.

Fans can catch all action live as Oklahoma City takes on Boston Celtics at TD Garden scheduled for April 3rd at 6:30 PM ET broadcasted by NBCS-BOS and BSOK networks.
