    NBA Playoffs – Spurs vs Thunder Game 3 Predictions

    If there’s a game that’s going to decide this series, it’s game 3. The San Antonio Spurs have the Oklahoma City Thunder on the edge of a cliff, and now it remains to be seen if they follow through with the shove, or watch a team that’s 0-2 down but getting back Serge Ibaka after what seemed to be a playoff-ending injury has what it takes to get back into this series.

    Thunder vs Spurs – An Unfortunate Turn of Events

    After sweeping the San Antonio Spurs in the regular season, the Oklahoma City Thunder might not be as confident as they should be, packing heat in the form of Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook going into the Western conference final, because of the injury to Serge Ibaka, which will be out for the rest of the playoffs.

  • Oklahoma City Thunder – Stopping the Streak

    Oklahoma City Thunder – Stopping the Streak

    The Oklahoma City Thunder complete a season sweep of the San Antonio Spurs with a 106-94 win that also ends a 19-game winning streak, but despite some great defense and an aggressive night on offense from both Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant, it probably won’t be enough to win the top seed in the Western conference.

    Spurs vs Thunder – The Battle For the Best in the West

    Right now, there’s now doubt it’s the Oklahoma City Thunder. Yes, one head-to-head win is enough to determine that, with the team’s records being so close, and the San Antonio Spurs being yet another team that failed to win at the Chesapeake Energy Arena, the best home advantage in the NBA until this moment. Even with Russell Westbrook doing his best to ruin it for his team, the bench and the fantastic two-way ability of Serge Ibaka were enough to make up for it.

  • Kevin Durant in Historic Fourth Quarter for Him and Oklahoma City Thunder

    There are always a few heroes to every tough postseason win, but Kevin Durant was so good, so unstoppable in the fourth quarter, scoring 18 points out of his game high 36 that it eclipsed every good thing anyone on the Thunder or Spurs’ team did or tried to, leading Oklahoma to a 109-103 win, tying the series in 2-2.

  • Russell Westbrook, Spurs Energy and Thunder Pride

    From Humiliation to jubilation, close to vindication. Russell Westbrook took everything gone wrong for him in the first two games and came up with a rejuvenating display in the Oklahoma City Thunder’s impressive 102-82 win over the San Antonio Spurs, that felt more than just one win, pulling them back into the series, 1-2.

  • Oklahoma City Thunder, Winning Streak Killers

    Tabo Sefolosha had what was probably the biggest game of his postseason career, scoring 19 points and adding 6 steals while annihilating both Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili, setting the tone for the Thunder’s defense in their Game 3 win over the San Antonio Spurs, a resounding 102-82.

  • How the San Antonio Spurs are Destroying the Oklahoma City Thunder

    Game 1 of the Western Conference Final didn’t have me completely sold on the fact that the Oklahoma City Thunder are a bit out of their league in terms of running plays and executing on both ends of the floor. After Game 2? It looks like the San Antonio Spurs are better in each and every way.

  • Thunder & Durant Not Troubled by Fatigue

    Kevin Durant got to rest in the fourth quarter, finishing the 3 games in 3 nights with 3 wins for the Oklahoma City Thunder, who made easy work of the San Antonio Spurs with a 37-21 third quarter. James Harden added 20 off the bench in another fantastic game for the best sixth man in the NBA.
