It's a new age in the Thunder camp. Now that OKC is among the NBA's elite teams, losing one game has become heart-wrenching for Thunder players.

That shows how this team has arrived at a different place.
Thunder guard Russell Westbrook, however, provided the best perspective on how the team now views losses.
“It reminds me of being back in college at UCLA,” Westbrook said. “One loss feels like a big loss, especially with the way we play and the toughness we play with.”
As a reminder, while Westbrook was in Westwood, his Bruins teammates lost only 10 games in two seasons. During that time, UCLA had just one losing streak. It, too, was a mere two-game skid.
These new feelings should only foster a burning desire to keep winning. And that's a huge step in the proverbial process.
Over the past two seasons, the Thunder developed a culture conducive to winning.
Now, a winning culture is being created.
When Durant was asked after the game Saturday how it felt for the Thunder's seven-game winning streak to come to an end, a neighboring Westbrook chimed in with his own reply.
“We'll just start a new one,” Westbrook said.
