Thunder up 36-14.

OKC defense is just smothering the Wolves on every single possession.

Just unbelievable effort from every player on the court.

Thunder go up 3-1 and head back to OKC.

What a response after a 42 point loss in Game 3.

SGA, JDub and Chet were stars tonight.

Thunder has been resilient all season long.

OKC has lost 2 games in a row only twice all season. They haven’t lost 3 in a row all season.

This young team does not play like a young team.

There’s 1 team you can’t blame for the Mavs landing Cooper Flagg.

Back in 2017 when the new lottery reform went to a vote, 28 teams voted for the new flattened odds.

Ironically, the Mavs abstained from voting.

OKC Thunder were the only team to vote against.

Thunder improve to 1-1.

Guarantees a Game 5 in OKC on Tuesday.

Next up: Game in Denver on Friday night.

Russell Westbrook was huge for the Nuggets in this Clippers series.

Happy to see him excel like this for Denver in the playoffs.

But it’s gonna be bizarre to see the Thunder legend play vs OKC for a spot in the Western Conference Finals.
