00:00
a critical game seven yesterday afternoon in oklahoma city to decide our final spot in the
00:06
conference finals out west featuring the number one seed in the western conference for a second
00:12
straight year the thunder but could this thunder core take a step they had not could this thunder
00:18
core use their new playoff experience and growth to capitalize on the moment will the nba champions
00:25
from just two seasons ago show their might albeit on the road and as a hefty underdog it was oklahoma
00:32
city and all okc yesterday in game number seven a 32 point win for the thunder 125 93 oklahoma city
00:43
comfortably cruises to a cover as an eight and a half point home favorite a total of 214 albeit in
00:50
a game seven does sky to the over in the rs we have learned a lot about this thunder core i would
00:57
say throughout this highly competitive second round set against the nugs and we learned even more
01:04
yesterday in game seven not a great start for oklahoma city denver had an 11 point lead 21 to 10
01:10
with just over four minutes remaining in that first quarter the nuggets led by five at the end of that
01:16
opening stanza and basically from that point it was all oklahoma city a huge second quarter a double
01:23
digit lead leading by 14 at the break in the thunder cruise in the second half to get back to the western
01:29
conference finals for the first time since 2016 68 win team in the regular season okc and again this is
01:37
why you fight to get these games on your home court you don't want to be an elevation in denver trying to
01:41
win a game number seven you want to be home in front of okc fans that were going nuts yesterday
01:46
wearing all blue in the stands now understand this too you look at okc and i like the first
01:51
round that they had it was a sweep but you know what else i like even more when you have to face
01:54
adversity and you surpass that adversity and you're not even into the western conference finals yet
01:59
that's what you got denver's got the heart of a champion as you said they won just a few short
02:04
years ago a world championship you have them in game number seven with arguably the best player in
02:08
the world nikola jokic and you shut the door on them and also even in the game you faced it early on
02:13
it's very easy for a young team that's not really used to winning or advancing deep into the playoffs
02:17
you're down 10 points in game number seven right off the bat you said oh no jokic gonna have one
02:22
of those games 40 and 20 there's nothing we can do to stop him aaron gordon's out here on one leg are
02:26
you kidding me this guy's going to beat us here and you quickly slam that door in the second quarter
02:31
with a 39 to 20 lead and then the second half you didn't give any life to denver by winning that period
02:36
by 11 points as well i was impressed from what i saw out of okc and also breaking through the glass
02:41
ceiling with 35 points was sga did a lot of other players absolutely step up that was probably the
02:47
most shocking thing in the game number seven that he crossed over that 33 34 point threshold but also
02:52
shout out my guy russell westbrook who played 22 minutes ben and finished a minus 34 here trying
02:58
to show up the home crowd like you know what i'm going to be the villain he wasn't the villain
03:02
yesterday okc easy over the denver nuggets
