ICYMI: Sweeping the Lakers
“The Thunder now hold the rights to draft at #12 and #17 (owed from Philadelphia) in the first round, sending both their own #30 pick and second-rounder to Dallas.”

“The Lakers have not provided a blueprint for slowing the Oklahoma City machine. They've shown us that the common plea from fans and coaches and players and owners to the league office–save us from the Thunder defense! save us from Shai free throws!–are not going to work out any better for the Thunder's opponents, even if they come true.”

“In a series that was defined by players other than Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, leave it to the reigning MVP to put together his best performance in a closeout road game. SGA finished with 35 points and eight assists while shooting 11-of-22 from the field and 12-of-15 from the line. Ultimately, despite throwing a little bit of a different look at Shai in this one after LA's overemphasis on SGA backfired due to OKC's depth, Shai capitalized on slightly less aggressive defense to power OKC to yet another trip to the Western Conference Finals.”
