Oklahoma City ThunderOuvrir l’analyse complète
Oklahoma City dominated Brooklyn 105–86 on February 20 at Paycom Center, holding the Nets well below the Vegas total of 215.5 in a defensive showcase. J. McCain led the Thunder with 21 points while C. Holmgren added 15, as Oklahoma City shot 42.2 percent from the field and connected on 13 three-pointers to control the pace. The hosts compiled 47 rebounds and 22 assists against just 18 turnovers, posting a dominant 106.1 offensive rating paired with a suffocating 85.6 defensive rating. Brooklyn's M. Porter Jr. scored 22 points and N. Traore chipped in 17, but the Nets managed only 36.7 percent shooting and made just 7 threes while committing 20 turnovers. The decisive second quarter proved pivotal—Oklahoma City outscored Brooklyn 29–10 to seize control, and the Nets never recovered despite a strong 34-point third quarter that came too late. Oklahoma City's defensive intensity, particularly the 11 steals and ability to limit Brooklyn to 86 points, underscores their growing status as a Western Conference contender.
