Well, that's literally not possible. No team can play that way all the time. The effort was great but that level of energy is unsustainable. What the Thunder needs to focus on sustaining is the commitment to defensive principles -- communicating and rotating, helping on drives and covering shooters on the back side. PG and Westbrook were amazing offensively (buoyed in large part by Gobert being off the floor), but it was critical that the Thunder stopped the Jazz from getting such good, wide-open looks.
