OKC point guard Russell Westbrook
Last night, we saw the Spurs do something they have not done since April. They actually lost a game. However, they really did not look like they were interested in winning. Why do I say that? Well, the Spurs who are known for their precise ball movement, ended the game with TWENTY-ONE turnovers. Just to compare, Oklahoma City had only eight. The Thunder came out looking like they were done being pushed around including a shove by James Harden to Stephen Jackson as if to say we aren’t going down quite that easy. They had outstanding play from an unlikely source in Thabo Sefolosha who finished the night with 19 points, 6 rebounds, and 5 steals. OKC just played a better game in every sense of the word. They were better offensively and defensively. This team will always put on a show for their home crowd which is so commendable. They came out and did not look defeated, but instead looked better than they have this entire series. The next game is Saturday night in which Oklahoma City looks to even the series at 2-2.
