The San Antonio Spurs showing nothing but a "Heart of a Champion" digs deep to beat the Thunder after blowing a 10-point lead at the beginning of the 4th. The Spurs move on as OKC falls short of getting back to that "Fight 4 Larry" so coveted by so many players namely on the Thunder Russ, Nick, and KD.
The Spurs lost Point God TP9 of Peak USA Scooby Doos as he was done right before Halftime. Parker left after only scoring 8 points. The night though belonged to France National Team PF/C Boris Diaw as he went for a team-high 26 points including 3 for 6 from the Arc. Duncan added 19 points an fifteen boards with Kawhi Leonard 17 points and eleven boards. Manu playing a Point Forward most of the 2nd half in place of TP9 goes 15 points, six boards, and five helpers as he hit a huge Money Ball late in the 4th to put the Spurs up right before the end of regulation. San Antonio was 11 for 35 from the Arc as OKC was just 8 for 27.
The Thunder gets 34 points and eight assists from Russ and 31 points and fourteen boards from "Dat Dude" wearing that smooth KD VI Elite by Nike Basketball. It just wasn't enough or it was but the Spurs just made a play or two more in Extras as even Reggie Jackson added 21 points with "Air Congo" adding 16. OKC to stay in the game shot 29 for 33 from the Stripe. OKC needs a Post Presence like a Big AL Jefferson of the now Charlotte Hornets to get out of the West real talk. No balance offensively with Russ and KD having to shoulder and taking a high-percentage of the shots.
Spurs now advance to the NBA Finals as we have a rematch and both Teams knew they were on a collision course and if they tell you different their lying!
