The Oklahoma City Thunder exited Game 1 of the 2025 Western Conference semifinals with plenty of reasons to feel unhappy. When you blow a 14-point, second-half lead, give up a 19-6 run over the final four and a half minutes of the fourth quarter, deliberately give your opponent two chances to cut into your lead with the clock turned off in the final 15 seconds, miss a pair of clutch free throws, give up a game-winning 3-pointer, and lose the home-court advantage you spent six months fighting to earn, there’s a lot not to like; it’s not exactly a fun time out at the ballpark.
