Kendrick Perkins had a message for his teammates following the Thunder’s 103-97 Christmas Day loss at Miami.

Get over yourselves.

“I just feel like — never overreacting to a loss — we just got to start getting back to who we are as individuals,” Perkins said. “Turning off the TV and stop looking at articles on ourselves and start just losing ourselves in the team a little bit more than the sky’s the limit.”

Perkins did not single out any of his teammates but said the focus, as a team, needs to be on maintaining what it is that’s made OKC successful early this season.

“We just got to start knowing what got us here and what each guy did to get us to this point,” Perkins said.
