Ahead of this pivotal game 3, here are 3 adjustments that the Thunder need to make tonight to improve their chances of stealing a win on the road.
For all the attention each team’s star guards get, this series may very well hinge on the battle between Steven Adams and Rudy Gobert at center. In game 2, Adams played only 22 minutes due to foul trouble, eventually fouling out for good with 3 minutes to play. Predictably, the Thunder were murdered on the glass with Adams playing so few minutes- even when Gobert was also sitting with foul trouble, Derrick Favors obliterated OKC on the boards, finishing with 16 rebounds total, 8 of them on offense.
