TEMPERATURE GAUGE

WHO'S HOT?

Oklahoma City Thunder. In the last 10 games, the Thunder ranks first in the NBA in point differential (plus-11.9) and blocked shots (7.5); second in 3-point percentage (.409), assist differential (plus-4.2) and steals differential (plus-3.0); third in scoring (106.7), free-throw percentage (.810) and steals (9.8); tied for third in field-goal percentage (.485); and fourth in opponent 3-point percentage (.325). Even OKC's free-throw percentage “defense” ranks first (.709). Goes to show why OKC is tied with the Los Angeles Lakers for the best record in that same time span at 9-1.
