The San Antonio Spurs Starters didn't come with it again vs OKC and they paid for it. The Thunder in a decisive 2nd Frame run highlighted by the KD VI going Money Ball x 2 and a sweet Turnaround "J"...the Thunder took off. They turned a 26-20 1st frame lead into a 58-43 OKC lead as the Thunder was full steam ahead after that.

OKC then started the 3rd with a 18-3 run to put the game into "Reinforcements get some time" Mode as that 58-43 OKC lead stretched to 76-49 with just under five minutes remaining in the 3rd. To the Spurs credit the S.A.S. Reinforcements cut that huge 27-point lead by OKC to a 83-71 game just as the 4th started. The Spurs never got that OKC lead under double digits as OKC wins 105-92 sending the Series back to San Antonio 2-2.

Russ "Becomes Legendary" with a 40-piece (12-24 FG 14-14 FT) with all kinds of sides like 10 helpers, four thefts, and five boards. That KD VI went for a 31-piece with small sides as in five boards and five assists. No other Thunder Player was in double figures as that Spurs Game Plan of letting Russ and KD get their own and shut everybody else's water off...was a no go in Game 4.

The Spurs Bench scored 63 of their 92 points led by Boris Diaw 14 points and Corey Joseph 11 points. Don't think S.A.S. Lead Man "Pops" wasn't sending a clear cut message to his Starters...he was and now we see the Spurs Starters Respone to all that on Thursday May 29th at the AT&T Center in Game 5.

Series tied 2-2...
