The Oklahoma City Thunder is being very consistent currently in their rebuild for 2020-2021.\u00a0 Last night in OKC proved the point as the Thunder beat the Milwaukee Bucks 114-109 for their 11th win against 15 defeats.<\/p>\n

From the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel :<\/p>\n

\n

Oklahoma City is in the midst of a rebuild but had started to play well in February, beating the Houston Rockets\u00a0and splitting a pair of games with the Minnesota Timberwolves, while losing to the the Los Angeles Lakers (twice) and Denver Nuggets by a combined 13 points in the four losses.<\/p>\n

The youthful Thunder continued that strong play to stun the Bucks.\u00a0 All five starters reached double figures in scoring and the team shot 41.7% from the three-point line \u2013 well above their league-worst 33.7% mark coming into the game.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

OKC won without two key guards in Shai Gilgeous-Alexander\u00a0 and Theo Maledon.\u00a0 Justin Jackson was perfect from the three point line (4-4) and he hit the dagger three late in the 4th quarter to seal the Thunder’s big upset.<\/p>\n
