IN A NUTSHELL The contest lived up to its marquee status: closely matched all the way through, with Kyrie putting on his usual show—but with a boatload of support from nearly everyone else on the Celtics roster. Russell Westbrook kept his triple-double streak alive, Paul George continued playing like an MVP and the Thunder defense was as tough as advertised, but Boston held their mud despite a few bad stretches in the second half, to sweep the season series against Oklahoma City with a hard-fought 134-129 win.
Well at least there aren’t any rumors of Kyrie Irving somehow going to OKC, because JESUS HAROLD CHRIST this past week or so has been insufferable. We’ve just got a great game between the Boston Celtics and Oklahoma City Thunder, two teams near the top of their conferences regardless of standings (given how the Cs have played of late).
