Durant needs to score 20 from here and hope GSW go cold from 3.

They were up 13, when he took a chuck 3 and played for the foul.

They can't match GSW taking contested 3s and going on runs.


If their team temperament was better, and if their point guard constituted a better decision-maker, they would not be trying to do so.

It seems like he only really gets that way when he feels desperate. Once again, they have made mistakes, but overall, at least through the first half and start of the 3rd, OKC outplayed them, but the fact they can shoot 3s at close to 45%, and earlier, between Curry and Thompson, it was much higher (though they are still a combined 10-18) that is almost always going to be extremely tough to overcome.

But yes, in the 3rd, they were scrambling and barking at each other a bit too much.

Wow, Durant and Westbrook with 3s after Serge getting it started. That's gotta inspire some confidence for them, though hopefully it doesn't lead to Westbrook trying to shoot a bunch more of them.

Though Roberson, not such a good 3 pt attempt.

Could you imagine if we didn't draft Booker and the Thunder took him. Oh man...

OKC could actually do with Knight instead of Waiters.

Let's try this again...

Seriously, find a way to start loving Bender so much that you want us to draft him at 4. Do it for the greater good!
SHAZAM!

Suns traded Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, Jae Crowder and 4 1st round picks and a swap so some Vegas Bookies would like us.

OKC just can't shoot the 3.

Imagine how good their offense would be with Durant able to play 1 on 1 and Westbrook with the lane open.

Roberson, Waiters, Westbrook, Ibaka aren't who you want open for 10 3-pointers a game.

Roberson, Waiters, Westbrook, Ibaka 4 of 20 from 3.

That's the game.
