With their 100th point, the Hawks have extended their streak of netting 100-or-more points to 90 straight games, marking the third-longest such streak in NBA history. The next closest team to Atlanta’s 90 consecutive such games is Indiana (41 straight games). – 9:19 PM

Atlanta is doing a great job of keeping OKC at an arms length and swelling leads quickly after Thunder runs. Exactly what you have to do when you have the vast rest advantage and are playing at home. So far ATL is TCB – 9:14 PM

Chet Holmgren scored 8 points in the final 2 minutes of the 2nd quarter.
But OKC’s usually swarming D gave up 76 first half points.
Thunder have only lost by double digits once – in the home opener vs Denver.
OKC gonna need a repeat of last night’s 3rd quarter performance. – 8:46 PM

Deleted the post about the Rockets’ changed television schedule. (Serves me right for trying to read emails at a red light.) TNT picked up Rockets at Oklahoma City. The game is Feb. 27. Now you may plan accordingly. – 3:18 PM

The NBA announced today they’ll be flexing Spurs-Thunder out of the 6:30 pm primetime ABC slot on Jan. 24 and replacing it with Mavs-Suns. SA-OKC will still be on ESPN, but with an 8:30 pm tip time. – 2:50 PM

Thunder vs Rockets on February 27th will now be getting the Chuck, Ernie, Kenny and Shaq treatment on TNT.
NBA saw OKC beat Boston, Denver and Minnesota over the last couple weeks and wisely decided SGA, Chet, JDub and Co needed more national TV games. – 2:37 PM

The NBA continues to trickle over from RSNs to over-the-air broadcast TV.
The Hawks will play 10 games on WPCH in Atlanta this season, not on Bally Sports Southeast.
The Hornets will play 10 games on WVUE in New Orleans this season, and off Bally Sports New Orleans. – 2:16 PM

The NBA has noticed the Thunder. The Thunder just had 2 games flexed onto national TV:
— OKC at the Spurs on Jan. 24 (ESPN)
— Rockets at OKC on Feb. 27 (TNT)
Four other games were just switched onto national TV, too, including Kings-76ers and Hornets-Spurs on Jan. 12 pic.twitter.com/N2QegmsWgt – 2:13 PM

Because Damian Lillard apparently wasn’t traded to the Heat, TNT today dumped the Heat at Blazers game on Feb. 27 and replaced it with Houston-OKC. Also, because of the writer’s and actor’s strikes (now resolved), ABC has NBA next 5 Wednesdays, beginning with Bulls-Knicks tonight – 2:07 PM
