The San Antonio Spurs beat the OKC Thunder just two nights before this game. Sure, it required two overtimes, and 84.2 percent from three from the Spurs and Steven Adams missing 10 of the game’s last 15 minutes. Sure, it was one of the few games this season the Thunder would need a center, and they didn’t even have a backup.
Right, sure to all of that, but the Thunder still lost. Luckily, they got an immediate chance for revenge. The NBA has done a little more of that this year, the home-and-home series, with the Thunder having three by themselves this year, and it really makes for a nice atmosphere.
