AROUND the NBA:

I watched a little of the game last night and my takeaway is OKC is so hard to play. There defense is really impressive. The part I watched was where both teams were struggling to score, not the part of the game where it looks like the Bucks were scoring and the Thunder were not. Obviously OKC had a terrible time shooting. The key though....you need to limit the turnovers. It is really hard because OKC is really good at it. Turnovers are just fuel to them. They destroy you if you turn the ball over.

Biggest key to beating OKC (other than having them miss all the 3s) is limiting live-ball TOs and keeping them out of transition. MIL did fairly well there. Giannis defense is trending way up over last 3 weeks. Doc has settled on a rotation/set of lineups. Good stuff.
