OKC - 2011/12 - Thunder Three-peat

[Andrew]

The Hornets game sounds brutal, tough to come back after a first quarter deficit like that. Seems you took your frustrations out on the Pistons though!

Great win. That dunk by Durant emphasises one of the problems with rim stuffs in NBA Live 10 that's hopefully ironed out in NBA Elite 11 though.

Doesn't sound like they put up much resistance, nice work.

[Phil89]

It was good to bounce back with 4 wins after those two losses against New Orleans, even if they were against somewhat struggling teams.
I'm back in the top 8 in the West now. Speaking of which, there should be a monthly awards/stats update coming soon.

Looks like you really clamped down on them in the third quarter before keeping pace in the fourth. Nicely done!

[Phil89]

It was a very back and forth game. Up until the third quarter anyway

The match-up between Deron Williams and Brandon Roy was a good one. Not sure why they played him at SG though.
