The 76ers dropped a difficult 110-105 loss in overtime to the Thunder on Wednesday.

Doug Collins sees the success of Oklahoma City as a model to use for their club.

"That's a damn good team," Collins said. "I want to use that as a blueprint for us. I want us to build like Oklahoma City has built. They built through the draft. Their younger players have gotten better. That's what I want us to continue to do ... We think we have some good, young pieces. The difference they have right now is they have that shot-blocking in the lane."
