Postgame Bolts
- Shout out to JDub's Game 6 status for a brief interruption of free throw discourse.
- Just a couple plays into the game and a clear goaltend on a Wemby block on McCain. Shout out to the Minnesota Timberwolves fans.
- Lu Dort was great early.
Hit a 3.
Blocked Wemby at the rim.
Stole from Wemby clean and fast for a breakaway dunk.
Unfortunately, the rest of the game didn't go as well for Lu. - Jalen Williams checked into the game late in the 1st quarter. JDub officially back.
- The game felt like it was lost when the Spurs hit a barrage of open 3s while Wemby sat for the first time. OKC has to win the non-Wemby minutes, and that's when San Antonio took control in Game 6.
- OKC was down 22-35 after the 1st quarter.
Spurs shot 8-14 from 3.
OKC shot 1-6 from 3.
And that concludes the 1st quarter analysis. - No flagrant on Carter Bryant's Ray Lewis impression on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. Okay.
- Cason Wallace was the whole reason OKC was only down 7 points at halftime. Cason was 4-4 FG and 3-3 from 3 for 11 points.
- Honestly, a 7-point halftime deficit felt like a big win for OKC given they were losing the 3-point battle 6-18 to 11-25.
- Has OKC considered the Isaiah Hartenstein push shot on every play offense
- Is Wemby's hair pulling on Lu Dort going to get the viral treatment the Hartenstein/Castle one got?
- That SGA step-back over Wemby was filthy.
- Unfortunately, it was the last shot OKC made for the next 525,600 minutes.
- The worst quarter of OKC's season finally, mercifully ended.
- The Thunder and Spurs have clearly been the two best teams in the NBA all season.
- Fitting that the first series in the league's newest, best rivalry is going to Game 7.
- Game 7s on your home court are why winning the No. 1 seed is so important.
- One game. The winner goes to the NBA Finals.
- Loud City will be electric on Saturday night.
