So, discuss whatever, but the bench being a collective -39 and still getting a win is a major credit to the starters.

Also, my work place blocked all streams and I'm working nights so I miss the beat down and the comeback. Eff this place.

That's all good and well, but wtf was Harris(?) Thinking doubling off of the guy with 22 points in the quarter?

Well his best game in a Thunder uniform and it's not close.

Russ made so many mistakes during this game but when he understood PG13 was on fire, he played smart and let his teammate make the work.

Dilly dilly! Give credit to Billy! That was a nice play drawn up to get PG open for 3. They weren’t expecting that.

HOLY ****. That's why you keep watching no matter how sorry the first 3+ quarters look.

I guess everyone just assumes Russ going to shoot. It’s almost always correct

Russ also had 16 rebounds, 17 assists, and only 2 turnovers. I mean, obviously PG did INSANE things, but don't get too caught up in just the shooting percentages.

Also, this should really put 50 point games in perspective. PG just had one of the greatest quarters ever and still didn't get 50.

I think it was just one of those moments where they almost used Russ' perceived reputation against the opposing team. When he starts driving everyone in the building probably thought he was taking that shot. Then flipping it back was like pulling a chair out from under them.
