JaMychal Green was the player of the game. His commitment to tanking by missing both FTs, as an 80% FT shooter, to give OKC a chance to win in OT showed the type of commitment every tanking team wants.

I'll take the win. It's awesome Russ managed to get to the rim and actually get fouled and that the refs actually called the foul. But it's annoying that we never get better looks after the timeout in a late game situation. That Celtics Spurs game last night Brad Stevens managed to get Kyrie Irving an open Corner three. He did miss it but he got a great look. We never get stuff like that.

Don't forget tyreke missing one in regulation and trying to foul Russ on that three ( think it was tyreke anyway)

Oh and as for Russ yelling in OT, Harrison was yelling at him at the end of regulation.

Still dumb, but that's why.

I guess this is what they meant by luck swinging back the other way in regards to the bad luck in close games to start the season. :dontknow:

Russ 24% fg and 8% from three. For clarification I would like to reiterate, 8% from three.

I thought that might have been it.

Postgame guys said we beat a really motivated Memphis team.

Fewer mid range shots than Russ took threes.

I'm sure glad Russ took four more threes than Abrines.

Westbrook leads plus and minus with +11 explain that? I not saying he played well by any means, his shot **** sucks this season and it is really troubling me now but he still has strong impact tonight
