What a game. The Spurs looked like the Charlotte Bobcats in the first half, as their vaunted offense completely broke down. Yet somehow they were only down 8 points, and then Manu Ginobili went off in the third quarter with a barrage of three-pointers to give San Antonio the lead. But then the young studs of Oklahoma City just took over the game, and a late rally by the Spurs fell short.
Watching the Thunder, it’s hard to imagine them losing to the Heat or Celtics if they advance.
Meanwhile, the Spurs followed their 20-game winning steak with three straight losses against a team that looks like the next great NBA dynasty. They looked so bad tonight at home and the odds are stacked against them as they travel back to Oklahoma City.
