You couldn’t have scripted this game any better if you are an Oklahoma City Thunder fan.
This long running but ever evolving rivalry had it all: Chris Paul first half heroics, Clint Capela mosh pit diving into Steven Adams’ back, Russell Westbrook history making triple doubles, James Harden history making 3 point misses, and Danilo Gallinari and Dennis Schroder playing dynamic clutch duo down the stretch for yet another epic Thunder fourth quarter double digit comeback win.
Oh, and most importantly: LOU DORT.
The little played but often hyped undrafted two way (not for much longer) rookie got his first ever NBA start and put the clamps on his fellow Arizona State alumnus Harden.
