Scott Brooks carved out a spot alongside P.J. Carlesimo in the Thunder record book Tuesday night.
Brooks tied Carlesimo’s 1-12 mark for the best 13-game record in Thunder history as the Los Angeles Clippers spanked Oklahoma City at the Ford Center on Tuesday, 98-88.
It wasn’t easy, but Brooks persevered and pulled it off. After guiding the Thunder to victory (111-103 at Memphis on Nov. 29) in just his fourth game, he needed to string together eight consecutive defeats to match Carlesimo.
Such a run appeared unlikely, as it included home games against Golden State, Memphis and the Clippers, three teams that limped into the OKC Corral a combined 17-47.
It stood to reason that the Thunder, buoyed as it was by credibility factor added when Brooks replaced Carlesimo, would find a way to win one, maybe two of these games.
Maybe all three.
