San Antonio can blame itself for letting
the Oklahoma City Thunder tie the Western Conference finals. It can
point to the absence of ball movement and cutting, the inability to communicate
properly on both ends, and coach Gregg Popovich can lament his team’s lack of
“physicality.” Look in the mirror all you want, guys.
The Oklahoma City Thunder are winning games, here. The team
won on Tuesday night, taking Game 4 of the conference finals by a 105-92
score, evening the series and making the Spurs look both old (sounds about
right) and discombobulated (sounds completely unlike them) in the process. The
Thunder’s ability to force the Spurs into over-dribbling and harried finishes
around the rim led to an endless series of transition scores for OKC, led by
perhaps Russell Westbrook’s finest game as a pro.
Russell Westbrook finished with 40 points, 10 assists, five steals and
five rebounds, while Durant poured in 31 points on just 22 shots
