How has Westbrook had a better game? Utah is definitely better than Indiana but Russ has a WAYYY better supporting cast.

It was goaltending

And it was out of bounds on Thaddeus Young.

Jazz paid for his sins.

Westbrook and George for better or worse are going to have to take every shot in Game 6 to win.

Jazz were playing with house money this game. I like them getting this experience. They can reset for Game 6.

this has Warriors-OKC G6 vibes. Will Utah be too shook to finish this series?

lebron 44 - 10 -8 with 5 tos and +2
russ 45 - 15 - 7 with 5 tos and +10

and russ brought his team back down 20 in the 3rd, facing elimination on a team with no momentum or flow against the best defense in the league in ppg. we'll see lebron's shot for the next 45 years. but russ' heat wave is by far more impressive and important. game was tied when james hit his, admittedly, incredible shot. they both went hero. but russ went superman to lebron's batman.

Utah may have just lost this series.

The Rockets are gonna go up against a Jazz or Thunder team that had to kill each other to get out of the first round.

Damn what happened? Missed the last hour due to a call but thought it was over. WTF

All it took was for the NBA to ignore their own rules and get the right refs.

Gobert got his 5th foul so they took him out in the 3rd quarter, then Westbrook destroyed the world.

Utah's plan of daring OKC to miss wide open shots didn't work out too well.

Thunder in 7

Come on dude, gotta give him his due. He's still been terrible overall, but his 2nd half in this game was amazing and worthy of every ounce of praise.

Game 6 must see tv.

Westbrook led them back, but his tough guy act is very tiring. Also nice 39 shots to get those points. Jazz take this in 6.

I don't think so. Gobert getting in foul trouble turned the tide in the 3rd quarter. OKC will have to keep up this insane intensity to win.

Again, I think this is fantastic experience for a young Jazz team.

I hope they actually call the push offs in the next game, they got away with about 5 of those in the first quarter alone. See you guys in Utah.

wow. im just stunned. good game WB and PG. good game.

Im a little scared now for the jazz .. the momentum has turned.

Incredible resilience by Russel Westbrook and Paul George. Look forward to seeing more Grant, Abrines, and Huestis going forward.
