Rough game last night, but not for naught. There are lessons to be learned. Hopefully the first one would be, when you find that 3-pointers aren't going in, stop shooting them.
Game recap will be coming up later today.

A Lot of Missed Opportunities as in 3s | Daily Thunder
Young remains optimistic despite the loss. It would have been nice to finally end the road losses to the Lakers, but I think that their rematch in OKC will give us a different ending. One missed opportunity he did not mention, and granted it does not play a huge factor at the mid-season point, is the fact that the Thunder missed an opportunity to go up one game on the Jazz and also pull practically even with the Lakers in the standings.

It's addicting. It's the only reason I'm here in L.A. If it wasn't for In-N-Out Burger, I probably would've gone to Memphis or something."
