And specifying don’t foul, because it would be a disaster to miss on purpose with a 1 point lead and then give them 2 free throws.

Wow Luka, 29 points on 15 shots. And a triple double to boot.

The better team won

Lots of homer ref complaining IMO.

PJ Washington's offensive foul was an obvious call.

The SGA foul down the stretch was an obvious call.

You guys complain more about the refs than Luka :lol:

Surprised the commentators not once mentioned PJ should miss the last one intentionally, like they were surprised it happened. Seemed like it was something that was the obvious or at least a likely play.

OKC had an insanely successful season. Still kinda hurts because this was a very winnable series

GG Mavs fans. It was a good year for my Thunder team, hope for more good series in the future... and improvement of the roster on the edges.

Try not to blame our team on the Fouls, blame Tony B. GL vs the TWolves or Nuggets!

SGA's best teammate hit the bottom of the backboard on a layup.

Thats what he had to work with.

Dub and Chet had 43 combined and it just wasn't enough in the end.

Lively with 12, 15, 3 assists, 1 steal and a block.

Great series.

Dallas really did it. Damn, I did not see them getting by OKC. Huge series, its crazy they made the conference finals.

They can and they will but they need another dude. PJ Washington woulda been nice

Very impressive series win by Dallas. OKC is a *great* team

Luka was MVP of Dallas and Kyrie finally decided to say f it to the overload defense and took shots regardless, but man was Lively huge for them. Holy chit i cant remember the last time a rookie made such a huge impact in a closeout game like this.

I agree especially since there’s not a chance in hell PJ is making that double clutch one arm shot but thats a risky block for Shai to attempt and it clearly was a foul

Imaging if Presti believed in their chances this year at the deadline lmao

Not surprised that OKC lost. They had mega try hard we da bes energy.

Okc needs some muscle in the paint. Really hurt them this game

Horrible decision to challenge that. No timeout cost them any chance at the end.

Who wins and goes to the WCFs?
