OKC Thunder sports minute

The Oklahoma City Thunder made national news last week. And it wasn't for anything good.

The once-powerful NBA franchise suffered the worst loss in league history — 152-79 — to Memphis on Thursday. The 73-point lashing broke the previous record of 68, when the Cleveland Cavaliers whipped the Miami Heat 148-80 during the 1991-92 season.

There obviously wasn't much of a positive spin OKC coach Mark Daigneault could put on the humiliating setback. He said in Sunday's edition of The Oklahoman: "The lessons that you want the team to take from that game are self-explanatory. I didn't see a need to double down on that. The feeling that you would try to generate with the film already exists. Letting it breathe I think is almost more powerful than to dwell on the actual visuals of it."

See what else staff writer Joe Mussatto has to say about the Thunder's massive setback and other items of note.
