The way this series has been officiated is insane. Just no consistency whatsoever.

They could do it every time but SGA seems to be obsessed with always taking midrange shots. I get he’s a master at it but I would want to make Jokic move around as much as possible on defense.

The Thunder aren't a good team, the Nuggets are a bad team. Nuggets should've won games 4 and 5 and were in control of this game until Westbrook came in and then imploded. The turnovers are awful and totally unforced, which is what bad teams do.
TWolves are watching this probably thinking: 5 games at most, maybe 6 if we feel like it.

And people think OKC will win it all. They make the game harder for themselves.

In a close win or go home game you need to save your challenges to a more crucial moment.

Only in the clutch, I think.
Not worth it when the offense is plus thirty or whatever with him on the court. Still frustrating, though.

That's what happens when you don't work hard on defense.
Like the analyst says, their transition defense is terrible.

I will take OKC or Nuggets in a series with the Wolves.
