Magic vs Thunder – NBA Opening Day Recap

Oklahoma City 97 – Orlando 89. This game was not as close as the final score. The Thunder dominated the game after the first quarter. The Magic were doomed from the beginning. The Magic roster just didn’t look to make efficient decisions. They didn’t play as a cohesive unit. Meanwhile the Thunder are building on last year’s success and playing like a complete team.

Notables: Orlando needs to desperately make a trade to bring in a play-maker. While the roster is filled with role players, none of them seem to be able to create a shot of their own or possess the ability to take over a game.
Kevin Durant was spectacular. He didn’t put up Rucker Park numbers but he nailed some incredible shots. Durant finished with 30 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals.
James Harden looks to be the favorite to be the NBA sixth man of the year. Harden finished with 19 points and 6 rebounds.
