Key Factors for Success


A critical factor for the Thunder's success has been their ability to capitalize on turnovers and second-chance points. In their recent victory over Portland, they scored 21 points off turnovers and added another 28 through second-chance efforts. This ability to maximize opportunities will be crucial against the Warriors' defense.


Another aspect where Oklahoma City has shown dominance is in controlling the paint. They scored more than half of their points (52) inside the paint against Portland, highlighting their efficiency close to the basket. Maintaining this level of performance will be key in overcoming Golden State's defensive schemes.
