Oklahoma City Thunder achieves five winning streaks, back to back lost for the Utah Jazz

“M-V-P!  M-P-V!  M-V-P!…”

The fans of Oklahoma City Thunder inside Ford Center chants as Kevin Durant played aggressively against our Jazz.  Kevin Durant scored 35 points, his 37^th time in this season upgrading his franchise record.

The game was battled hard and physical; and the Oklahoma City Thunder have my respects for making the game exciting to watch. The Thunders achieved their goal to get the seed topping the Utah Jazz for the Western Conference. A lot of factors are against our Jazz…

• Home court, even though Utah Jazz played and won on the road this pass few days. “There is no place like home”
• Fans, there’s no substitution for instant adreline while your fans cheered and shout for you.
• Age, Young vs. Veterans… experience is a good attribute but young and pumped body is on the side for Thunders. I remember this one quote by a Japanese martial arts master fought by Jet Li in “Fist of Fury” wherein he noted that the old ones fear the young ones
• Again, defense. The Thunder’s defense were so aggressive that they made a lot of fouls
• Temper, Coach Jerry Sloan and Carlos Boozer contributing 2 technical calls for the Utah Jazz
• Andrei Kirilenko still out because of injury

D-Will was honest about the game, he said that the Thunders played better in offense and defense. The first half was owned by the Oklahoma Thunder and finished the game with leads. Deron Williams got fouled out in the last seconds of the fourth quarter.

Deron Williams got his showdown against Russell Westbrook, even Kevin Durant enjoyed their matchup.
