00:00Thunder won one last night. Took them seven games, but they beat the Pacers 103-91.
00:06So much for that Pacers, 100 points in every game. That fell on me on the last game.
00:11Dragged me all the way to the end, and I couldn't get 100 points in the last game.
00:15Our last NBA highlight to the season in the second half, the Thunder took the lead, pulled away, and they never looked back on ABC ESPN.
00:23Russo and SGA play catch. 7 out of 24. Three-pointer SGA puts it in.
00:30He's got 25, and the lead is ballooned to 16.
00:34Right at Holmgren. Pulls back out again. Across the lane. Spins. Finds Neesmith.
00:39Blocked by Holmgren. Dort the save. SGA splits the defense. Kicks it out. Williams, a three-pointer. Bang!
00:5021-point lead.
00:52Yeah, look, it was unbelievable because it was a really good game, and then it wasn't.
01:01You know what I mean? It was like super tight, and then all of a sudden, they just got it up to 16, and then it was flirting around, you know, 13.
01:09And I guess the closest they ever got was 10, and they were laying seven, so I needed them to cover it, and they did.
01:17And so I was happy. My son's a huge Thunder fan his whole life. He was happy.
01:22I thought it was a pretty good game, all things being equal, I guess, until the end.
01:29You know, it wasn't a great finish, but I thought it was a really good game.
01:32I thought the Pacers showed up. I mean, they were giving them nightmares.
01:35And I thought, Mike, that the Thunder were out of sorts. I did not think they had it going on at all.
01:43And, you know, that enabled the Pacers to be in the game, that they were hitting shots, a lot of them.
01:50And the, you know, even, let's face facts, Halliburton, he, you know, tore his Achilles, but he hit three threes before he did it.
01:59He had the most threes in the game.
02:00Yeah, I thought he gave them, before he got hurt, unfortunately, he gave them a lot of juice early on in that game.
02:09And then, you know, McConnell tried to keep it going for them in the second half, and it just, you know,
02:15they just kind of kept leaning on him, and then they tipped him over.
02:18You know, they just didn't have enough to keep up with SGA and the Thunder.
02:23You talk about an historic team.
02:24Most wins, regular season and playoffs combined.
02:29Look at where the Thunder sit here, Scotty, at the top of this list.
02:33Wedged between two legit dynasties, of course.
02:36The Warrior teams from 10 years ago and the Bulls teams of the 90s.
02:4084 wins for the Thunder.
02:42The Warriors in 15-16 at 88.
02:44The Bulls in 95-96 at 87.
02:47And then you see Bulls, Warriors, Warriors, those same group of teams right behind them.
02:51Impressive stuff from OKC.
02:52Yeah, they're a great team that got it done.
02:56And if they wouldn't have got it done, we'd be making fun of them because they won so many games.
03:01I thought the key to the game for them was simple.
03:04It was Abe Lincoln.
03:07Five blocked shots.
03:08I mean, he was blocking, and they all were in the second half, unless I'm mistaken.
03:14He literally took the game over himself, swatting shots left and right, and really, I think, stuffing the Pacers back in the bag to send them back to Indianapolis.
03:26I thought the defense was the key, and his blocked shots were the difference.
