I don't know if they have 13 points on that roster right now. NVM 16.

And that's Miami's third shotclock buzzer beater three of the game.

The Heat are the 5th worst 3P shooting team in the NBA. They're shooting 39% from three tonight on 18 attempts. Of their makes, three or four have been pretty fluky.

Adams has 5 fouls. One of them wsa a BS double foul. One or two others were questionable fouls at best.

Russ missed a FT at the very end that would've given him another 30 point triple-double.

Abrines is starting to play with confidence. Doesn't look tentative to let it fly even on a few shots he probably shouldn't be taking
“If you're getting stops and you're making threes and the other team's not scoring, that's when you're going to see a huge point difference there,” coach Billy Donovan said.

Re: 12/27 | G31: Oklahoma City Thunder at Miami Heat | 6:30PM CST
It was an easy win for OKC.. They were in control all game. Russ did well, he was brute force all game and didnt shoot a 3 in first half. He looked for Adams and Kanter first before he went to his shoot first mentality in late 4th quarter.
Adams is getting better and better at rolling or popping to the basket knowing Russ will find him. 6 offensive rebounds!
Kanter more or less manhandled the Heats big men in offense. He scored points in multiple ways and was more or less unstoppable. 5 offensive rebounds shows us his efforts on offense, thou we might not notice them on defense ....
Abrines showed us his shooting touch is no fluke. Im glad he competes for the minutes Morrow got. Maybe it will kick him in the ass and we get 2 high% 3pt shooters in backcourt. Or maybe not...
I was pretty happy with the effort and defense by OKC, but it simply disgusts me when Roberson and Singler dont shoot when they get open looks. For Roberson to be more effective he needs to have a high volume scorer to guard. There was really noone on the Heat roster, so given his zero contribution in offense he got kinda lost in this game.
Man of Match was most likely Enes Kanter. He has so many offensive moves its sick... The 2nd unit is doing a great job of getting him the ball and he is good at scoring og passing out of double teams (just needs to remember to not get fancy).
Stat line of the night: Singler played 10 minutes and was +6 !!!! Outrebounding Heat 46-32 was also nice!

Looked like they got bored after a while since it pretty much stuck at 13 points it felt like for the entire second half. Just glad they handled their business.

Hey GG fellows! For the WCF count me as a Thunder fan! Time for Westbrook to teach the league who is the real indispensable one in OKC! Good luck!

I remember 11-30 with these guys. ^

The Heat made a lot of jumpers and timely three-pointers to keep semi-hanging around.

We're not going to beat you with Derrick Williams and Rod McGruder. Not sure what's up with that, but I'm not liking it. It doesn't matter, though. OKC is way better, no matter who we put on the floor. It's to your credit that you lose one of the best players in the league and you stay in the chase. Well done!

Yeah, without Dragic and Waiters, I expected us to win comfortably. It was a pretty comfortable win, but it had the potential to be a 25 point blowout but your guys kept hanging around. Kudos.

Thanks! It's a little embarrassing right now, but we'll be back.

I think it's the Thunder's time. Please make it so!

Adams and Kanter destroyed Whiteside, poor guy looked really shaken at times. Kanter scored on him on post-ups with such ease as if he wasn't there at all. He's been in the zone lately. And Adams didn't let Whiteside get anything offensively and kept dunking on him.
Westbrook had more than half of his team's defensive rebounds. This might be some sort of a record for a guard.

Adams may be close to be a top 5 center in the NBA.
Well it's hard to tell because we don't know how efficient he will be without WB, but he's playing like a top 5 right now for sure ( behind Cousins, Gobert, KAT and Gasol). Maybe I'm missing someone ( Didn't watch drummond and Deandre Jordan enough this year)

He got 9 more rebounds than opposing team's current league leading rebounding center. There's nothing left to be said about the rebounding prowess of this team.
