It is safe to say last night was not the Oklahoma City Thunder’s finest hour. They were ran out of the gym by the Spurs en route to a 117-89 win for the Spurs in game 5 of the best of 7. At the end of the first quarter the game was tied at 32 and it looked like we were in for a great game. The Spurs put that to rest soon, by tearing the Thunder apart, especially in the second half. Kevin Durant & Russell Westbrook didn’t play well and the Spurs played 100% team ball. Tim Duncan finished with 22 points and 12 rebounds but it was the effort from everyone in a Spurs jersey that helped put the game out of reach. Game six is Saturday where the Thunder will try and avoid elimination and setup a game seven.
