Thunder Schedule: Moderate Four-Game Slate Lies Ahead for OKC

The Thunder are on a bit of a hot-streak, winning four in their last five games, the latest being a win over the struggling Pelicans.

After a light schedule last week, Oklahoma City has a moderately hard four-game slate ahead.

Let’s take a look at their schedule for the week.

Tuesday, Dec. 28: at Sacramento Kings

The Mavericks have managed to stay competitive in the stout Western Conference this season, but hit a rough patch in the last week.

They dropped their last two contests to the Bucks and Jazz, and will look to rebound against an easier schedule this week.

The three games will be broadcast on Bally Sports Oklahoma. The contests can also be heard on the radio state-wide on 98.1 FM The Sports Animal in Oklahoma City and in Tulsa via 97.1 FM The Sports Animal Tulsa.
