After the game, Mark Daigneault was asked whether these close games were a blessing. He said close games like this help the team get better. This reminds me of Patty Gasso (legendary Oklahoma softball coach), who says "pressure is a privilege." The Thunder is going to get their opponent's best shot. Teams want to take down the champs, especially with how good OKC is playing right now. And OKC finding ways to win these close games will help the team continue to recognize the privilege of the pressure.
Yeah, the team won a NBA championship with pressure moment after pressure moment, but if the Thunder is going to be a dynasty, it's going to be enduring a constant barrage of pressure moments.
