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

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

>> 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.
