I do not know how this game finished with the Thunder winning. They were behind by 10 plus point since the beginning of the 2nd half. A surprising Kobe Bryant only had 7 point while being 2-10 from the field in the 4th quarter. The Thunder were down by 13 at the start of the 4th and persevered and it paid off.
It's almost like the performance the Spurs put on earlier today in the same arena against the Clippers. They had a 24 point deficit and came back and won the game. Now the Laker are down 3-1 for the series and have to figure out how to stay in this series. I think they have figured how to control this Thunder offense throughout this series. They did a great job at slowing the tempo of the game way down which eliminated the fast break opportunities for the Thunder. They kept the ball in the paint with Gasoline and Bynum and it paid off....until the 4th quarter. Westbrook and Durante combine for 60+ points. Westbrook kept the Thunder in the game am Durant closed it out for the win. Durant hits a clutch 3 pointer from the top of the key which sealed the win for them.
