This take us to the third key which is for the OKC Thunder to play their own game. Play with the same intensity they would any other match and not play down to their competition.

"I'm very fortunate, that in my first year on varsity (trường đại học, đội đại diện cho trường đại học), I had Angela as a teammate for her last season," Shaw said. "It helps that she is a tall player. When I go into the game, I'm not scared of any opponent because I practice against Angela. It definitely built my confidence. Angela doesn't play down to anyone. She plays the same defense on me that she plays in the games.

They also beat a Jimmy Butler-less Heat team at home, but other than that you’d be hard-pressed to find any impressive wins in there. Most of the time the Kings play down to their opponents, like narrow victories over the Grizzlies and Pistons this past weekend. They’ve gotten pasted by most of the real teams that they’ve played during this time (Thunder by 20, Lakers by 16, Bucks by 12 without Giannis, Mavericks by 19, Thunder again by 4 where they blew a 19-point lead).
