How Do You Spell NBA Playoff Success? T-E-A-M
You need talent, of course, to advance in the NBA playoffs. You need defense, too. Another key that is sometimes overlooked is a four letter word for postseason success: T-E-A-M. I thought of that this weekend as the young Oklahoma City squad battered the Lakers to tie their series 2-2.
Oklahoma City is now 3-0 ATS the last three games, winning two, and they’ve done it with teamwork and hustle. It’s impressive how a group with so many young players is playing with passion, even on the road.
