This Friday, the (28-29) Oklahoma City Thunder will travel to Phoenix, AZ to take on the (32-28) Phoenix Suns. Tipoff will be at 10:00 PM EST inside the Footprint Center. This will be the first meeting between these two teams this regular season, as I am expecting a battle in this one.
The Thunder are coming into this one after taking down the Houston Rockets, 133-96. They looked incredible on both ends of the floor, as they will have to stay aggressive in this one if they want to take down the Suns on the road.
The Suns are entering this game after falling to the Los Angeles Clippers, 116-107. They struggled on the offensive end of the court, as they will have to be more efficient in this one if they want to take care of business at home.
