Saturday’s game got off to a shaky start for the OKC Thunder.
It started with a barrage of 3-pointers by the Charlotte Hornets, who were buzzing with energy despite being on a second night of a back-to-back. It started with a cluster of uncharacteristic turnovers by the reigning NBA champions. And it started with a halftime score that was surprisingly close, as OKC led by just three points.
