Dear NBA: Don't put the final score in the thumbnail of close game endings. If someone didn't watch the game and just wants to catch the ending seeing the final score kinda ruins the tension
-
Damn, you can feel the panic and nerves that OKC had coming down the stretch. Hopefully pulling this off gives them the confidence to shake off those nerves for the next one.
-
Okc couldnt have played worse. Didnt score for like 6 minutes late in the fourth. Pelicans gonna be kicking theirselves for that one
-
Not only is OKC the youngest ever 1 seed. The coach is not even 40 yet! How do i know? Mark was my highschool teamate. SO proud.GO OKC!
-
credit for wallace for not fouling in three point line with mccollum..YOung core of OKC fought hard for this playoff appearance..
-
Some brutal offensive possessions in the last couple of minutes π
-
"He's strong and he's long" is crazyyyy!!!! πππ
-
Chet holmgren blocks is the reason why okc wins πππ
-
hopefully this can be a wakeup call/learning experience for the young thunder!
-
You know the announcers also feel the nerves when he says "They got a timeout to give" π€£
-
Larry nance jr doing literally everything in his power to prevent pelicans from winning π
-
Great defense Chet and Wallace in 3 finale minutes. go okc
-
Bro I'm surprised we won with how terrible we played tbh, Glad we did tho lol that Chet block followed by the Shai clutch bucket was hype AF, Great game, Hopefully we play better the next one.
-
The Coaching was brutal in this game
-
the big time for okc through the play off as a 1st on West. good to see they can overcome 1st game. pels very good team. nice to see their battle for next games.
-
Love the Loud Crowd! Fan base is So Awesome! Yes Oklahoma City Thunder fans! I get fired up too! Turn me up! π₯π₯ππ
-
why cant the pels ever finish a game bro π€¦πΏββ
-
5 years without playoffs, players age under 25 and a sold out home crowd, man their hand should be shaking. they did great.
-
This was a back and fourth game but it was SGA being clutch in the end that led to a Thunder victory. Either SGA or Jokic deserves the MVP in my opinion.
-
The pelicans can actually win this series bro if yall know basketball and not being bias to your team and actually know the sport you could see it
