The Thunder get their second home win

I have the dubious distinction of being the only photographer for The Oklahoman to photograph The Thunder winning a game. I was there when they beat the Timberwolves at the Ford Center on Nov. 2 and there for the win last night, Dec. 19, over the Raptors. In between I, along with our other photographers, shot quite a few of their losses too. I hope this will get the ball rolling for the team. It’s always a lot more fun to cover a team when they are winning. Here’s a few shots from the latest win.
