This'll be a great win if we can snatch it, considering how the Spurs have shot.

15-for-*******-16 from three.

Eff me. They didn't miss two consecutive threes the entire freakin' game.

Aaaand we foul before the ball is inbounded. It was a ticky-tack call. Of course the refs called it on us, though.

Isn't clear path when anyone is ahead of the fouler? I'm pretty sure Schroder was...

We've played 53 minutes and the Spurs are STILL shooting above 90% from three.

The refs have effectively done everything in their power to make sure the Spurs hold on and win this game.

What. A. Joke.

I’m not even an OKC fan yet the ridiculous biased officiating has me heated lol.

I hope when they come into OKC in 2 days, the Thunder receive this same type of home cooking.

No clear path
White “block” on Grant
PG Tech
Grant “foul” on Aldridge
Waive off PG 3

That’s pretty pathetic by the refs

Oh also ball off Grant on shot that hit the “rim”

Russ has been sneaky good the last couple of games. He was incredible tonight (outside of 3s).

24 assists to 3 turnovers might be the all time best assist/turnover ratio in a basketball game. Just incredible.

Berra's breaking these down on Twitter right now. I think they got most of this right actually.

PG is in his shot motion during Derozan foul on Adams

How can they not put more time back on the clock? (more than .3 seconds)

No clear path

Those are the biggest 3 IMO

Devastating loss but seeing Ferguson have these type of performances is promising, this will be great for his confidence going forward.

Part of me can't really be all that mad since they had a guy score 50+ & went like 16/19 from 3, but the other part of me feels like the refs just really decided this game. Everything went against the Thunder from the end of regulation through both OTs, especially in the 2nd OT.

On the plus side Russ has put together a couple good games in a row & Ferg is making shots the last couple too. Hopefully Adams ankle doesn't get worse though because that's the last thing they can afford right now.
