Nick Gallo (okcthunder.com) recaps yesterday’s loss in Boston: “The chances were there for the Thunder – at the rim in the first half, on defensive rotations in the second half and in the final seconds on a breakneck-speed-coast-to-coast drive by Russell Westbrook with the Boston Celtics ahead by only two points. In all three facets though, the Thunder just couldn’t come up with the plays to get over the hump and eventually fell 134-129 to the Celtics on the road.”
Tim Bontemps (ESPN) on Russell Westbrook taking responsibility for the loss: “In a late game like that, I’ve just got to take care of the ball,” Westbrook said.
