3 talking points as the Oklahoma City Thunder walk past the Sacramento Kings 132-113

#1. Total domination on the boards

Steven Adams against the Sacramento Kings

The Thunder racked up a season-high 66 rebounds in what was a total annihilation on the boards by them. And Adams was at the centre of it all. He made the Kings pay their bad box-out and took advantage of his physicality.

Adams alone had 23 of the Thunder’s 66 rebounds and had a 20-20 game to his name. He made sure that he made the Kings pay for their silly mistakes which in turn was the biggest difference maker in the Thunder’s win.

Other players like Westbrook also racked in 11 rebounds, while Paul George also joined the party with 12 of his own. They were especially very dominant on the second chance points as well, and converted it at a high rate. OKC is the best team regarding offensive rebounds per game in the entire NBA.

This game was just a little sample of how good has the thunder been throughout the season in the rebounds category. They are ranked second in total rebounds per game and this stat has been a major reason for their success this season.

In their next match, the Thunder will face the Jazz while the Kings host the Grizzlies in hopes of getting back to winning ways.
