Pistons have played and won against good teams this season. But the way OKC Thunder runs their attack can catch anyone off shore. This is exactly what happened tonight.

Thunder were explosive in attacking the rim from the very first minute of the game. The attack was led by Adams and Grant who dominated the ring well. Both combined for 36 points with 12-14 field goal conversion. While Westbrook and Schroder took care of the business in the backcourt and created opportunities for the rest.

In the third quarter, Thunder completely froze the Pistons and increased the 10 point lead to 29. OKC held the Pistons to 35% shooting with 1-8 from three.

Much was expected from Blake Griffin as he is playing at his All-Star caliber. But OKC double-teamed him throughout the game. He didn't score much and couldn't create easy baskets for his teammates.
