Hartinstein taps it back out. Homegrren

Duck Castle got his hand in there.

Homegrid was just trying to get the whistle. Didn't get it. Played for the

whistle. Didn't get it. Played for the foul. And on the other end, it leads to

foul. And on the other end, it leads to a quick two.

SGA, he'll lean into the body and that's GOING TO GO DOWN. A PLUS ONE FOR SGA IS going to go to this day primer. SGA

that push shot is pure.

San Antonio back quickly the other way.

Barnes again battling with Homegrid and somehow Paris lost. I don't mind.

>> Absolutely not.

>> J nice move on the baseline. He was

patient. Hernstein trying to play distributor at the top. There's the cut by Wiggins.

>> Thunder much deeper tonight getting some of those players back that were out last night as JDub. That is so smooth. Get

trying to get up the floor as quick as possible.

Arstein, nice touch. That is a >> your added disadvantage to the start.

So, keep an eye on OKC's defensive pressure and containment in this game tonight guys.

>> All right. Thank you, Paris. And there

was the Spurs right out of the timeout.

They said their ability to keep teams away from their strengths on a consistent night toight basis.

>> HARRISON IS HAVING HIMSELF A FIRST QUARTER, but there is Homegr on the move gliding up for that basket, too.

Streaking down the court.

Chad just cruising through the landscape like a locomotive.

>> Adjust midair. Homegrren came over to try to here. He's trying to front when now you get a mismatch. Homegrren comes

over. Wendy the fade away and in his footing.

>> Loads up and he's got the three with five seconds left to go in quarter number one.

The drive there is Kevin Johnson. That's

what tough shot in the corner. Cornette

offensive rebound up top. Vel and the second up for three is good. Now Kenri

Williams who was so good last night in the win against Memphis. Caruso hard

take, hard drive. Nice finish. Good. And

Champenni with the and he throws it right to Kenri. And Kenri just wiggles his way inside off the cell. Tough shot. Cornet offensive

cell. Tough shot. Cornet offensive

rebound outside Johnson and Johnson is feeling it here in the first half and he can take that three.

Decided not to do it there. Fox off the deck and San Antonio's field goal percentage for the finger roll. No good.

Outside it's Joe. Perfect spot for him and he capitalizes with a three.

>> Keeping Kell Johnson off the glass.

That's what you have to do with offensive reh defensive rebounding is going to the guy's body that nice patience with the basketball

the Spurs with Castle back over the corner not trying to give up and get it easy but there is a drive by Julian Champenni

about this pass and ahead my goodness fast break >> punts here by the Thunder in the second quarter after trailing by eight settling a little bit as when Minyama around the

rim and he just kept it alive with his height and as Castle tough shot. Couple of

different defensive players and there have been some tough finishes by the Spurs around the rim but SGA sees a lane right to the cup and scores

but a little too strong. Fox on the drive and he's got the two really dictate defenses if he gets that screen.

He's a speedster with the basketball.

>> SJ in the middle of that defense just wide open. Turns around. He missed that

wide open. Turns around. He missed that first free throw.

Vel trying to get around Wallace.

Elevation on the mid-range shot and he's got two more. There's Wallace springing free. Way short. Caram's right back to

free. Way short. Caram's right back to JDub. Omgrren got the toes behind the

JDub. Omgrren got the toes behind the three-point line. But now SGA too much

three-point line. But now SGA too much speed. Got around Barnes. Wants to fade

speed. Got around Barnes. Wants to fade away. and scores the fade away.

away. and scores the fade away.

>> 16 in the first half. Dort almost had the steal. Fox got it back. SGA was

the steal. Fox got it back. SGA was

ready for the drive with Barnes. Kept

the dribble alive. Barnes again. 12 lead

changes in the first half. JDub got to the spot on the baseline, pulls up and shows his stroke. That's a nice inside and might have lost it on the way up.

Fox quickly into the front court outside the cell. Contesting the three go.

the cell. Contesting the three go.

>> Runs like that for the opposing team.

Essentially get wherever he wants from the floor. Get into his offense just

the floor. Get into his offense just like that. And he's got four quick

like that. And he's got four quick points to >> look at the double team arc. Three guys

looking at it and a wide open Lou Dort.

That's exactly >> here in the third quarter on a dazzling play from SGA.

Lemanyama gets it up and it IS CASTLE GETTING UP THERE.

>> Reset of the shot clock to 14 now stands at eight for the Spurs.

>> 14 foul the lob when Minyama inside and once he caught it he couldn't slow him down. The

down. The >> drive by Parker >> back outside Castle.

>> You know things are going right for San Antonio as once again the shot clock now under 10.

JDub deflection turnover >> TWOON-ONE HARPER THEY'LL LAY IT UP and in transition excuse me but opportunity for the Thunder to cut back into that lead as

Shay does just that with a trifecta together some stops as well can impose that defense but there is a little more offense from SGA

for the Thunder just get stops here's a lob and cornet has been nonfactor.

So, the Thunder trying to play through the hill that's getting a little bit steeper here in the fourth quarter.

Vignyama the step back three and he knocks it down.

Jay might have had a block by Champenny able to pluck it back out of the air.

JDub didn't want the three instead drives in, floats and scores on the scoop.

>> Just when OKC needed some offense.

>> How about Shay? just keep playing even though that shot got tipped to regain it.

>> Heavy pressure out on the perimeter.

Castle on target with the three pass. Harper the rookie dumps it up and

pass. Harper the rookie dumps it up and Champenny gets the slam. Has gone

dormant here in the fourth quarter. San

Antonio's been able to take advantage.

Spurs plus 10. And how about that play coming out of the timeout as they go above the rim. A nice pass to Hartstein.

>> Nice little twoman game. Forcing Cornet

who was in drop back coverage to make a decision trying to cover the drive or the lob.

You saw the ladder.

>> Have not been able to get stops on that end and they can't do it on that possession as Harper just his second made basket of the game.

SGA stopped on a dime. He's got two more. 33 on the Arstein tried to get up

more. 33 on the Arstein tried to get up there on Cornet.

>> Couldn't do it. Now he bounces off of a cell defense playing catch up and there is another three tries to fawn Castle.

24 points. Four out of five from downtown. JDub on the other end

downtown. JDub on the other end bouncing. You almost have to play

bouncing. You almost have to play perfectly here for the final four minutes if you want to give yourself a chance.

>> Shay back outside Dort and there's a starting to get that shot off and he missed it.

And so the Spurs have just been relentless on this end and continuing to pump in three-point shots and that one might just do it. But even

in this game that most likely is going to end up in a loss said before the game, there's so much value because you just haven't played this San Antonio team in meaningful

gainful games with this roster over the last couple of years. So you got to play him three times. Yeah, the Thunder loading up on a lot of backto backs

right now, too. back to back in Minnesota.

Young knocks down a three home and taken down Oklahoma City 130 to 110 when I

know what I do.
