The OKC Thunder have finally adjusted to life without James Harden and they have done it with the emergence of both Serge "Air Congo" Ibaka and Reggie of Chestnut Hill, Mass. Both players were instrumental in the huge win in the AT&T Center 113-100 as the Spurs were full throttle. After the smoke cleared forget Neighborhood watch the regulators OKC put the Spurs on a Thunder-hood Watch.

Behind a 31-point outburst by OKC's Favorite Uncle...Uncle Russ as he also waited on eight OKC Tables the Thunder get a big 2nd frame to get by the Home Team Spurs. It was Super-Sub Reggie Jackson's 21 pints off the bench that made the difference along with steady double-doubles from Ibaka (14 pts 14 rebs) that has made a big difference in OKC's Offensive Productivity. KD had 17 points on a relative quiet night but they don't need big numbers from him every night as the Regulators might have found that Secret Sauce like that Thousand Island on that #1 at the Golden Arches.

The Spurs were uncharacteristically not taking care of the Orange and it cost them. PG TP9 had 23 points and eight helpers but he had his hands full with Russ. Dunc and Belinelli both net 17 as Dunc also grabbed ten Oranges. The Thunder missed Kawhi Leonard out for Personal Reasons and that was huge as Belinelli took his lot at Small Forward.

I know its just 1 of 82 but the Thunder had to get this one to validate themselves in the West as arguably the front runner. The Regulators OKC move to 22-4 while the Spurs fall to 21-6.

Regulators...Mount Up!
