It is a forgone conclusion as the Thunder will most likely win at Home on Saturday only to take another Game 7 loss as the Home Team ironically has won every game in this series. Both Teams have looked horrible coming out of the Motel and OKC followed suit Thursday Night in the Alamo City.
A 32-32 lead after one took a critical turn at least for OKC as the Spurs outscored them 33-23 in the 2nd frame to go in at the half leading by ten 65-55. That lead slowly ballooned to a twenty point lead 94-74 end of the 3rd frame lead as the Spurs were a robust 13 of 26 from the Arc and I knew they would shoot it well in their gym. OKC was jut 6 for 24 and that is a +21 points in makes alone and then the Spurs make 26 of 30 from the Stripe with OKC just 13 of 20. Throw in a Spurs +13 rebounding margin at 48-35...you get a 28-piece handed to you with all them sides.
Dunc lead San Antonio with 22 points and grabbing a dozen boards. The Spurs Bench scored 55 points to OKC's 26 with Manu and Boris Diaw accounting for 32 of that 55 outscoring the whole OKC Bench. KD led OKC with 25 points as Russ added 21 points as OKC now is in Elimination Mode as they still have to win Game 6 in Thunder Alley and then figure out how to win in the AT&T Center and for the Visitors in this series that is a tall order to say the least!
