Despite their taxing schedule and a depleted roster, the Thunder stole a win at State Farm Arena and improved their record to 3-0.

While they managed to bounce back by defeating the Orlando Magic with a slight margin, the Hawks failed to keep up with the momentum and fell to another defeat in the third game. On Saturday, while they showed offensive potential, their shooting struggles were pretty evident. In their previous game against the Magic, they shot 48.2% from the field and 75% from the free-throw line. However, the stats fell to 41.2% from the field on Saturday and 66.7% from the free-throw line.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mm-layout mm-layout-type-post
