Impressive win. These group interviews are dumb as hell.

The refs completely screwed up the end of that game.
The Thunder fouled Washington with almost 5 seconds left.
Then they let another 1+ seconds run off when they were clearly fouling Shai.
Just crazy clock management by the refs.

Chet Holmgren: 18 points, 9 rebounds, 4 blocks, 1 steal
Jalen Williams: 14 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists, 4 steals
Two second year players. Wasn't pretty, but got the job done. Only two turnovers between them.

Very similar to the Wolves-Nuggets series.
Home team has a chance to go ahead 3-1 in the series and virtually a won series if that happened but it's now 2-2 and next game is on the ROAD, one against the team with the best record and the other one, the defending champions.
Can feel the pressure for both the Mavericks and Wolves now, so close to a WCF appearance and yet here we are back to square one (with advantage on the opposition).

Let's be clear, whatever happens in that série, Dallas won't win the ship with Doncic playing at this level.
Hell, I'd argue Doncic won't win anything in the future if he continues to not care for his fitness like that.
Guy has never looked as unfit as now and yet he is only 25 and it's not like he's ever been a great athlete....which shows how embarrassing his fitness is at the moment.

In these close games, good coaching versus bad coaching can make the difference in winning and losing very often. It can be glaring which team has the better coach at the end of games.

Half the team being there for the interview was nice. Dont usually see that nationally.

Hopefully this game proved to all the SGA doubters what all the hype is about.

Gritty win by OKC! I'm glad the series is 2-2 instead of 3-1. Hoping for a game 7 but with the way Luka is playing, wouldn't be surprised if OKC closes this out in 6.
Also, I really like OKC giving interviews on the court as a group after their wins. I think they did that after game 1 as well. Not sure if they've done it before.

I like that SGA is surrounded by his teammates during the interview. Shows a lot of comradery

Luka needs to spend the whole summer at the freethrow line and in the gym doing compound workouts.

SGA looks like a real leader, having all the guys surrounding him during that interview.
