What a worthless performance from Melo.

Thankfully they won in spite of him.

Gonna give props to Melo. Less ISO and more catch and shoot this game. Russ has got to be better but you have to love his never ending fight. PG was awesome on defense and made some nice 3's, but his driving to the bucket/handles left a lot to be desired

Terrible offense after Russ realized he needed a rebound for the TD.

I’ll give Russ a pass for tonight because of his trolling embiid. He deserved it.

Him being fresh during Triple Overtime was huge. He was the only guy on the floor that still had some left in the tank.

I have to give Melo props for this game. If he hadn't shot as well as he did during regulation, this probably would have been a loss. I can't believe he played through all three overtimes.


Steven Adams won't get the credit he deserves because he fouled out and was 2-8, but him having to guard Embiid all game was a daunting task. Embiid still went off, but he had to work for it. 7 offensive rebounds was huge as well.

That guy is such a clown good lord. Don't talk trash when the only thing you've done is get your Gm fired. Jeez.

Typical Thunder basketball.

Play a great first 2 1/2 quarters, lots of ball movement, great defence and offence.

Choke away a lead in the 4th by ISO'ing and bricking.

Somehow survive through talent and Russ in the clutch.

Nevertheless, I liked the movement we saw from the team. It shows that they can play good offence and move the rock around when they stay committed to it.

Well, not much to say. We "won". 5:21 without scoring a bucket, with this team. Holy hell

My phone died and I missed the last 6 of the 4th quarter, then got home for ot. I'll just assume Russ chucked us out of it before chucking us back in it in OT.
“If you're getting stops and you're making threes and the other team's not scoring, that's when you're going to see a huge point difference there,” coach Billy Donovan said.
