- Good, intense finale to the series. Thunder managed to come back and force the game to overtime, but the Spurs kept their head and prevailed. That basket Duncan scored in the end of regulation would have been basket of the year if it counted IMO. San Antonio Spurs - Oklahoma City Thunder 112-107
NOTE: This video has a bit heavier cutting and less crowd/players reations than my other uploads, but doing it in any other way ended up with the video blocked. Still, everything worth noting in the final minutes (including some replays) is in here.
a 39 year old took over the game and sealed it!! what a legend! Thank You TD
Couldn't agree more!
Probably the best power forward of all time!!
TD was 37 not 39, do your homework. Still, The best PF of NBA history. Legend.
He was 38, not 37 or 39.
When Duncan said “we’ll do it this time” I got chills! Duncan never talks that way. It was more than confidence, Duncan was more driven than at any point in his career. I knew the Spurs were going to win the title.
That strip steal by Kawhi on westbrook is soo underrated. Completely shifted momentum
Westbrook's the main reason they lost. Can't be trusted in the 4th and OT since he's inconsistent.
for me is one of the greatest defensive plays of the history of the nba;the vertical quickness of kawhi even today amaze me and the prescition of the jump and steal is elite level of talent
Kawhi Leonard is just underrated
Pretty Boy wtf no he's not
Reminds me of when Iguodala did the same thing to both Durant and Westbrook in the 2016 wcf
Leonard's strip to prevent Westbrook's layup is probably the biggest play of Leonard's career thus far. Absolutely CLUTCH defensive play right there :D
Yup..and absolutely flawless and unbelievable..
amazing
zul nitogah you over did it
Rfranklinz45 And now here is Kahwi, already an mvp candidate
2019 playoffs he got a buzzer beater on the raptors
@@JuanMartinez-vv2rg ancient comments. lebron still cookin
Wow, Tim Duncan was like, "Men,screw this, i'm finishing this shit tonight"
man, this was such a legendary game, everything changed after this, spurs destroyed miami and lebron left again, steve kerr decided to quit media and start his crazy rookie championship season, kwahi leonard made the big leap to be the next spurs foundation, ibaka back from injury too early and never recovered fully to his oldself, and kurant probably thought about leaving westbrook for the first time
houston34 damn fr man smh
WOW facts.
Basically, This game changed the future of the NBA
As a spurs fan, its really hard to move on. Kawhi is a once in a lifetime player, the qualities of a spur. Why o whyyyyyy still hoping he'll return
Durant chokef
I love how in almost all possessions in overtime the ball is given to Tim Duncan, like: he’s the man with the most knowledge and experience, give him the damn ball, he knows what to do with it
People sleep on how clutch Duncan was.
OKC coach Scott Brooks decided to go small in OT, with Ibaka at center. Either Brooks believed Ibaka can guard Duncan in the post, or he didn't give it much thought. Pop and Duncan obviously thought otherwise. In OT, the motion-offense heavy-Spurs suddenly switched back to their early 2000s self and fed the ball to Duncan in the post repeatedly. He punished Ibaka 3 times, netting 1 field goal and 2 shoot fouls (3/4 FT) and thus a total of 5 points.
After the strip-steal by Leonard, OKC's defense was in shambles and while they managed to get back, a glaring mismatch happened - Reggie Jackson was guarding Duncan. Very soon both teams knew it - Jackson tried to front Duncan like a mad man because he knew he had no chance to guard Duncan's post up if Ibaka couldn't. He could only try to deny the entry pass.
Manu tried to fool OKC's defense by passing the ball to Diaw against Jackson's aggressive move. When Diaw passed back the ball he immediately touch-passed it to Duncan. He fooled no one though, seemingly, as Westbrook even took the risk to leave his man Danny Green completely at the other side of the court and tried to steal the ball. Duncan, unfazed, caught the ball calmly with his back behind the basket. Danny Green was wide open and waived his hands like crazy. But Duncan, rarely, didn't pass because he knew neither Jackson nor Westbrook could guard him in the post. He had literally scored like this thousands of times before. And then he did, turned around and shot the ball over Jackson and Westbrook's outstretched hands.
This is the 7th consecutive point Duncan scored in the OT. The Spurs scored a total of 11 points, of which the last 2 were FTs triggered by OKC to extend the game. So 7 of 9 points was scored by Duncan in the post when it still mattered.
Not much national media talked about this in details then, but this was actually such a precious moment with so many subtle story line. In addition to it being the hardest win for the Spurs, It's a battle of wit of which Pop completely out-coached Brooks in the OT. It's Duncan, one of the oldest player in the league who made use of post up scoring - a skill largely rendered ineffective by the NBA along the years - to punish one of the best big men defender in the league. Even Duncan, one of the greatest post up player, rarely posted up by 2014. But the opportunity came, and Pop decided to go with it, completely changed Spurs offense. That's how much he trusted Duncan. And Duncan delivered.
It's wisdom, trust, relic from the past, and the defiance of father time. It's the best game, and by far the best OT I have watched as a Spurs fan along the years.
@@cuspchamwhat a synopsis! Go spurs!
Incredible game to watch. Two things I'll never forget about that OT: the first is Leonard stripping Westbrook in the final minute (might've been the single biggest play of the entire 2014 playoffs). The second is Duncan putting the team squarely on his back and carrying them to the Finals. I got choked up watching him celebrate.
Me too bro, me too. Something amazing about duncan carrying the spurs almost 20 years after being drafted
agree, duncan is unreal. GOAT
what about MANU 3 pointer? cant fotget that shot as well
Duncan didn't carry the Spurs, it was a team effort. He did make some big plays though.
A.J. Rose You have to give some credit to Ginobili as well, he was not afraid to create some plays.
Spurs seem to always be in the legendary games
Timmy goes into legend mode at 8:08. Completely unreal
+Olly B That shot sealed it for good.
Even refs can't save the thunder
check this out for more guys tjanks
th-cam.com/video/aZ7ulmBKLoI/w-d-xo.html
see how westbrook went for the steal, and he was wandering for split second, made duncan able to put move on a way smaller reggie jackson..
Kurt Cometa they tried to...that game was full of bs calls against the spurs
That Westbrook 3point attempt at the end was hilarious, brick off the top of the backboard. Durant put his head down in defeat..
HAHAHAHA! I remember watching this live and right after that three, I thanked Westbrook for his lack of basketball IQ.
He was trying to draw a foul but I hate when he does that because if KD's out there pass to him, he can actually shoot 3s well
and thats why he left his ass.
Durant missed a wide open 3 at 8:51 to tie the game. Durant had his opportunity and blew it himself
@@MrMathsimon , o
Best game of the entire 2014 playoffs and one of the signature wins of the entire San Antonio Spurs franchise. Parker goes down but a mix of the old (Duncan, Ginobili) and new (Kawhi) carry them to the NBA Finals against their nemesis.
+Swoosh283 Amen. 2014 was such a sweet season for the Spurs for so many reasons.
OLD MAN RIVERWALK SCHOOLING THE THUNDER YOUNG STARS...LOVE IT
stupidnamewaster lol it hurts doesnt it
Billy William thinking? yeah, I'm sure for that guy.
Christopher Rodriguez what?
Thinking hurts for stupidnamewater.
good good let the butthurt flow through you
This is why it's important to come back to watch the games and the players in archives ..
Because it's easy to forget and become prisoners of the moment.
Just yesterday KD , RussWest nd Harden were the he Future of the NBA
(I remember Duncan as a Rookie)
Now today Duncan is long retired , And KD , Russ , Harden are the aging Vetz , while Ant mans , Luka's nd Tatum's are the Present nd Future of the league.
Time is the most Powerful Force in the Universe.
Tim Duncan is so amazing. Reggie Miller said it best when asking when was the last time KD touched the ball. Westbrook had a handful of great plays offensively and defensively, but you definitely cannot have KD just spotting up for that many possessions down the stretch
The Spurs did what they wanted to do
They got PAYBACK on OKC and PAYBACK on the Miami Heat
What a GREAT Year for the San Antonio Spurs
T-Bone Hubbard spurs were amazing their that year. DEMOLISHED lebrons heat in the finals
Not so for the 2016 falcons! 😉☺️
Yep Year of Payback 2014
Cole Slaw that doesn’t correlate at all😂 different years
Then OKC got payback in 2016 lol
From the last 2 minutes of regulation and the OT it was basically Russ vs Timmy. Timmy at age 37 with all the miles on his legs, got it done one last time. Incredible.
One of my favorite games of all time. I love coming back every so often to watch this.
What a clutch performance by Leonard and Duncan. My goodness.
GamePhreak845 and Manu with that 3
This Spurs team had one of the most dominant final 3 rounds in playoff history. After being tied 3-3 with Dallas in the first round, they won their last 13 playoff games by 23, 24, 17, 15, 22, 17, 35, 28, 5, 15, 19, 21 and 17 points. They had a throwaway loss to Portland when they were already up 3-0, two losses to the Thunder in this series and if not for a bad fourth quarter in G2 of the Finals they would have swept the Heat. OKC did well to compete in this series considering how dominant the Spurs became.
i still dont think duncan ever saw westbrook at 8:18 but he still made the shot
At least with the head turn he saw a glimpse and just said "Fuck it "
Westbrook is the reason why KD will leave OKC in 2016
atenciaf you weren't lying
atenciaf wow you were right
Wtf!!!! It happened hahaha
Nigga...
atenciaf It happened and Durant has a ring now
That Kawhi block on Westbrook was amazing
all this series proves to me, coupled with watching the western conference finals is that OKC with a game plan and solid execution in the crunch are hands down the best team in the league..but as someone else said, the last few minutes was basically westbrook vs the spurs
...
I absolutely love this channel. Gives me a chance to relieve some clutch moments during some of my favorite years.
This Spurs team has so many clutch players, Duncan, Manu, Parker and Kawhi. They really know how to play this games
As a Thunder fan, this game still hurts. But I still believe that the Spurs/Thunder series was the real NBA finals. They both played incredible in this game, but the Spurs ended up being the stronger team, and then went to dismantle Miami. Good series as always. Wonder what is in store for this year?
helloman107 ngl. I think OKC is the only team I'm really intimidated by when they play my Spurs. I always like the series between them vs SA. More Playoffs matchups soon to come in the future for sure.
helloman107 The game could've ended differently if westbrook wasn't so dumb (poor KD)
+BriannTheGod really? I thought the Mavericks are more of a threat.
+helloman107 Trust me man Spurs fans could tell you about some heart breakers as well.
+helloman107
OKC has plenty of talents but all often relied on those talents to bail the team out. It was bad that Westbrook didn't have a play to call in OT.
Build a system, get the players comfortable with each other then sky is the limit for this team
Thunder bench:
Derek Fisher 5 pts
And that's it. Pretty much explains why they lost the game (and the series).
+DanielSong39 Harden was gone during this year for OKC right?
+Santana2163 yea
+Tracy McGoat Bench is no different this year than it was that year, still rank one of the lowest in terms of points and assists, as long as KD and RW are on the same team bench will never improve which is why I never understood the James Harden trade.
+chris correa u obviously don't know anything about the thunder if u think our bench is the same
+Spida8 fair enough im not a thunder fan, but i think i know something about basketball if i just gave an explanation of my opinion about the bench lol
"The need to build a statue of Tim Duncan in front of the fucking Alamo"
He ain't wrong about that.
This game took some years off my life, I swear. Glad we managed to win in THEIR home (breaking the losing streak) AND without our best player, Tony Parker, to head to the Finals. Out of all the teams in the league, the Thunder scare me the most. It was such a nice victory after 2012. Westbrook is such a beast.
hahahaha shut the fuck up.
Such a real intelligent & mature comment. You must be doing fantastic things with your life, lmfao. You're pretty pathetic. I'm actually laughing out loud at you.
stupidnamewaster that's why ESPN are still saying the Spurs are still the favorite of the West for next season, right? haha #5timechamps
stupidnamewaster I would never take advice from a hawks fan good luck next year in the lottery. Even if they don't win the don legacy is cemented. He didn't get stripped on the back end like Jordan did Malone bitch ass...Westbrook tried but he's only Westbrook
asdfiekpj Tony Parker isn't your best player. Tim Duncan is your best player, then Tony Parker.
this was the most difficult game to watch a spurs fan. kept having flashbacks of 2012. and just knew they were gonna call fouls every time durant or westbrook touched the ball. good guys won tho :-).
Don't forget 2016 playoffs as well bro. The league wanted Durant vs Lebron so desperately. 2012 and 2016 Spurs vs OKC reminded me of Kings vs Lakers in 2002.
Spurs always get revenge in the playoffs...just ask the Lakers, Heat, OKC and Griz.
The thunder lost. The good guys didn’t win bud
this was the okc era when spurs cant beat them in their home floor and this was their first win for years. this was the best live game i've watch. duncan was such a og.
It's amazing how the future of the Spurs (Leonard) makes one of the biggest defensive plays to keep the Spurs up and then the MVP of the Spurs (Duncan) makes a tough shot schooling the thunder to extend the lead.
'Future Of The Spurs'
...Hmmm...
Now he's 'load managing' for LA
@@injusticeanywherethreatens265 oh man thanks for the reply 7 years later so I can see how this aged.. but yeah so much for “future of the Spurs”
@@TheNeutralizer27 he spurred away his future with the Spurs lol!
WEMBY. FUTURE.
This was the real NBA Finals in 2014. That Spurs-Heat matchup was a massacre
This is why you practice the fundamentals lol OL' Timmy D gave Ibaka the business at damn near 40 years old lol
Loved the putback by Duncan..the put back miss a year before that lost him the finals, the put back that put him in the finals
One of the best games I've ever watched.. will remember this on my death bed as a last sports match to watch before I go..
Are you still good? I hope you are still out there
@@justingarcia6152 thanks man.. still here.. cheers..
@@muviadict Im so happy to hear that! Cheers Man, from Philippines 😀
Tim Duncan says after the game ended,"We got 4 more to win and we'll do it this time?"
Wow, yes I remember that. I was like 14 or 13 at the time. Those words by tim were chilling. Like u knew he ment it. No doubts. Miss the big 3. Wish I would've been born earlier to have enjoyed them better but I saw a great amount.
My favorite postseason ever… LOVED this series 👏👏💪💪
Westbrook didn't even pass the ball in the last plays. He's a big part of the reason they lost... No ball movement
but he's the same reason they went to overtime
+23dlc And he's the same reason they lost in overtime.. The ball needs to be in kd hands during crunch time.. He's that efficient during crunch time.. He just wasn't in this game cause he did not touch the ball at all Towards the end.. I hope Russell Westbrook figure it out before it's too late... Okc in the playoffs this year can't have Russell Westbrook dictating the game especially in the fourth quarter..
+Fred V I have bad news for you
+Devon Soltani yep it's too late
um...Durant missed all his 3s in OT lol
I love how Diaw was in the clutch. Shows how smart Pop really is.
no tony parker...but we got russel westbrook to take good care of the ball in overtime period...hahaha...GOSPURSGO
Between game 6&7 the year before and this game it probably took 10 years off my life
It crzy how much super power you need to beat the spurs
From 8:10 to 8:20 an NBA legend solidifying his top 10 greatest player of all time status...Timmy is one of the greatest of all time no doubt..
He is the real GOAT after MJ in my mind.
I’m watching this because I want to reminisce about the good times when the Spurs actually won games!
What, the last 20 years of 50+ wins wasn’t good enough for you?
William Santiago I’m talking about this season.
William Santiago it’s hard to see them go from how they were to now with a losing record and losing to teams that are absolutely terrible
@@TheIceManDan23 same but now we have wemby
OKC's penchant for switching caused Reggie Jackson to guard Duncan on the low block. Terrible coaching from Scott Brooks if you ask me. Duncan, Kawhi, and Manu went all in for this game. #GoSpursGo
watching this rite now gets my heart pounding like if I was watching it live all over again!!Great series.GO SPURS.SOON TO BE 2016 CHAMPS!
Lol they didn't even make it too the western finals..
+Lost Gaming we got robbed
I really miss that young Spurs
young? lol
Augusto Sarmento It's irony. If even at that age Timmy looks almost like a rookie. If you find that funny you probably do not understand spur's legacy
09:19 Russell WTF were you doing there??
thats what you pick out? WTF was KD doing?? Russ SAVED THEM into OT in the first place
Rafael Mertin KD is the reason Russ even made it out the first round.🤷♂️🤷♂️
Andres Molina KD couldn’t do it alone don’t act like Westbrook wasn’t a huge contribution
@@TheRafaelBond right now Westbrook saved OKC from second round , till his career gone .
Westbrook lost this for OKC he barely fucking passed
8:08 that shot man 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Can't get any happier that Spurs did not only beat Thunder but also the Ref! It was clearly a foul on Timmy and goal tending on Ginobili.
came back here after TD became Hall of Fame! thank you TD21
2:00 durant mad at his coach. Looked like a bad time out to ruin the flow. Microcosm of the chemistry problems they have and why they will struggle to win the championship with brooks.
This was such a great game man. Remember it like it was yesterday. Miss these days
OLD MAN RIVER-WALK
Pretty classy fans, clapping for their team and possibly for their opponents as well.
Except win they win. They talk a tonna shit. Twitter, insta & youtube.
But thats none of my business!
Now I realise the whole reason why Westbrook was able to look somewhat efficient, is because of the attention that was paid to Kd putting double and even triple teams on him.
Please come back. This spurs.
As a Spurs fan I was more nervous with this game than with Miami! 😅
Look at that Westbrook 3 at the end lol
+buto1118 I was so happy he pulled one at the corner! Sealed the Spurs' win :D
6:45 ibaka fouled him with his body on tim Duncan's lower body
In this series the best Spurs players were Tim Duncan (38) and Manu Ginobili (36). Old man riverwalk was huge, averaging 17.8 points and 10.2 rebounds in 30 minutes. Manu had 15.2 and 3.7 assists and 1.5 steals in just 23 minutes. Diaw had a great series too, and that steal by Kawhi in this game was clutch. But at the end of the day the old dudes were the legends, once again.
probly didnt help that westbrook was the 6th man for the spurs
You do understand that he is nothing and this team without Durant, Harden and Ibaka.
ABSOLUTELY, YOU ARE THE MVP, YOU FOUND THE CONCEPT
Lmfao
I remember watching this game with both my parents at home in shock and awe. Everything was so dramatic. Durant choking, Ginnolbi three, Leonard with that impossible steal, Duncan hitting that turnaround to seal. I just couldn’t believe we beat thunder on the road who were always the biggest obstacle to come out of west on road. Only fitting they went on to win last chip and take revenge to head. Whah a good summer that was
Duncan showing KD how a real man gets it done. He never went to the Lakers as a free agent to win rings with Kobe and Shaq. KD is soft. So soft..
He had it fairly easy this year breezing past the Spurs without their 2 best players and then beating the Cavaliers who were arguably the worst defensive team to ever be in the NBA Finals. No kind of excitement or memorable moments in the playoffs at all, just a bunch of lopsided games mostly involving the Cavaliers and Warriors, terrible season this year overall.
@@lchris6997 There was one... if you count the JR Smith meme lmao
DUNCAN HAD A GOOD TEAM... DID YOU HOW DURANT'S HAD BOWED IN DISMAY AFTER THAT SHOT, HORRIBLE SHOT AMONG MANY... MAN IF YOU HAVE EVER PLAYED IN A TOURNAMENT YOU SHOULD HOW DIFFICULT IT IS TO REACH THE FINALS AND ALL THE TIME THE SAME THING HAPPENING: WHEN YOU ARE TIRED BUT YOU STILL IT ALL TO THE TEAM, YOUR TEAMMATES PLAY TO SCREW YOUR EFFORTS, YOU GET MAD
Mac-Gustave MULONDA K WHY ARE YOU SCREAMING
Ryan W WHY ARE YOU SCREAMING?
still watching it in 2019,what a legend !
Durant and Westbrook are great, but Duncan and Ginobili are *legends* . If the latter were still in their prime, it would've been a sweep.
Just came back from first take to see what i forgot so many years ago , im getting anxiety all over from all the memories
Durant choked like hell, falling on the floor and shooting bricks …
I guess he needed these 3 other All-Stars
Arthur Cesari guess you wanna play blind about Westbrick performance
@@badboyrome1 Westbrook is the reason why the game even went to OT. Even if westbrook had made that crazy 3 pointer, the spurs would be up by 1 and OKC would have to foul.
If Westbrook wasn't an idiot, there wouldn't be a need for clutch plays. OKC should've dominated them
@@siggietyrone3965 Durant slipped while 22 seconds remaining and he obviously disappeared after that and got drowned under Spurs' level. Watch this properly.
These Spurs used to play such a beautiful basketball!
The fact that the OKC Thunder got this close to getting in to the finals without a healthy Ibaka and with him being out for two games just shows you how dangerous they are. With a healthy Durant there's no doubt that they can go all the way like they should've done in 2012.
Ibaka was healthy the last 2 games, and spurs didn't have parker for the last 2 quarters and ot the thunder lost this game because the spurs outplayed them. No excuses
Edward Jimenez Ibaka was not 100% the last two games and you're comparing 4 games of not having ibaka to TWO QUARTERS of not having parker.
Yes he was and even if he wasn't parker wasn't healthy for any of those games, he tweaked a hammy in the Portland series and never fully recovered but that's beside the point, in basketball there's always injurys and okc still had the mvp and Westbrook and choked in OT
Steven H Wang 1.Parker was their best player at that point, not third best. At worst he was tied with Kawhi.
2.Parker was seriously banged up from games 4-6. He missed most of game 6.
3.The first two games were blowouts (combined 55 point differential with lots of garbage time) and in #2 the entire team was ice cold from the floor; Ibaka's presence would have made a minimal difference considering how little passing and intelligent play design takes place on OKC's offense. You don't get to make excuses when you're getting mauled like that, regardless.
So whether you want to play the "what if" game or just check results, straight up, you lost. The spurs have been the better team since 2013 and were DAMN sure better last year. DEAL. WITH. IT.
Steven H Wang The difference between games 1&2 vs games 3&4 wasn't Ibaka, it was venue. All 3 games in SA were blowouts by the Spurs, Ibaka or not. The 3 games in OKC were 2 Thunder wins by double digits and one Spurs OT win.
This was 8 years ago...Time went past so fast...Steve Kerr still as a commentator...Duncan in his last 2 years...
When you think about it, nba fans really had the Spurs, Warriors, and Thunders all in the western conference at one point. It was such a treat to everyone. I can’t believe KD ruined it all. NBA definitely lost billions in potential income and it’s all because of one man’s decision.
Ppl really blame Westbrook but he’s the reason they went into OT, I remember watching this when I was 14. KD was scared to touch the ball and when he did...he falls... and then he’s running away from the ball and taking bad shots. That’s why the commentator called him out “the MVP of the league hasn’t touched the ball in the last 3 possessions” he always said he didn’t want to be the guy. He got what he wanted in Golden state
That last shot by Westbrook is when KD officially made his mind up to leave
One of the scarier parts is the spurs always had an answer. Literally every single time.
Even at the very end, Ginobili misses that tough falling away 17-footer, and Duncan puts in a POTENTIAL series winning shot directly after....just about 0.2 seconds after the clock expired lol
Wow man this team had WILL.
2:09 isn’t a goal-tend an automatic point for the other team? Why didn’t SA go up to 99?
They didn’t call it
KD didn't have the ball in his hands enough I remember watching this like it was yesterday and although I was rooting for the Spurs I could see the frustration in KD in moments like 2:00 KD was going to try and make a play, probably some iso 3 that he's known for today.
Any in 2024?
I miss this Spurs team so much... Timmy, Tony, Manu and Kawhi.
evidence of westbrook hurting durant, they would never win a chip together. westbrook's misses hurt the team. in clutch situations the ball should be with durant. he's taller, stronger and finishes better at the rim. he demands double team thereby creating an open three or shot for his team mate. on three possessions, westbrook took terrible shots while durant got just a contested three down the stretch. i remember this season when westbrook got injured and was replaced by reggie, the okc team played a lot better. durant got the shots he wanted, not shots westbrook couldn't take
+sambafootball123 Westbrook is completely different now, if you've watched any recent Thunder games he defer's a lot to KD down the stretch.
+D Sizzle And I'm happy to see that... They had a couple on and of games with the Warriors, clippers etc. But Russell Westbrook is making progress and that's what we need for us to get ready for the playoffs...
sambafootball123 without Russ steal and free throws they wouldn’t have made it to OT
As an Okc fan this and 2016 were my favorites season
It's crazy going back to these Thunder close out games and seeing how often Durant wouldn't get a touch while Westbrook just jacked up shots.
the reason why the thunder didn't win in ot is because their players are tired already. they scored 107 points in OT but they only had 5 points from the bench. Their stars are too tired that they can't hit anymore shots at the end. spurs rotate players very well and most of their players were productive.
This would be steve kerr's last game as a broadcaster
An underrated rivalry between these two teams when they met up in the postseason…. How both mighty teams have fallen? One day spurs will be back to relevancy
At 9:15 Durant knew he was leaving OKC.
Man watching this as a thunder fan hurts firstly this is the season where kd won his first mvp and westbrook coming out of an injury looking better thsn ever only to be defeated by this spurs team
I remember watching this live, and laughing hard at how anticlimactic Westbrook's shot at 9:20 was
There was no ball movement at all in OKC at those critical moment, that makes the defender easy to focus on the one and only sbooter. Thanks to Westbrook ☺️👍 I am a fans of Spurs.
how do you not give the ball to kd during ot 100% of the posession?
games like this bro you really miss the crowd they just play such a big role this was an amazing game💪🏾
This also showed how scary Serge was defensively back then.
Serge was also injured. He suffered a near season-ending calf injury against the Clippers at the end of the series and was expected to sit out the rest of the post season. If he was fully healthy, it's doubtful the Spurs would have won this series.
one of the best games. old vs new.
Now I understand why kd left okc. He didn't have any chance of touching the ball in ot.
And that was his mvp season
沈克雄 kd turned it over with a chance to win in regulation y’all needa stop lol
He was bricking in ot
Man those OKC games must of been jumping when KD was still with them
How did the refs missed that goaltending first?
I know. I remember watching that live. It could've been the game
When was it?
+Ashok Mishra at 1:55
The refs NEVER call goaltending on ibaka.
I was angry too, until I realize that the rules say that to be a goaltending the ball must touch the glass ABOVE THE RING, wich is clearly not the case. So the not goaltending is a good call. Is a little dissapointing, because I prefered to be mad, but what can I do? Is a good call.
Let's take of a moment to appreciate OKC path to the finals. Taking out the two previous Champions Dirk's Dallas (2011) and Kobe's Lakers (2010) then eliminating a team on the rise (2013 finalists and 2014 champs) Duncan/Kawhi Spurs
OLD! MAN! RIVERWALK!
Thunder really doesn't have any excuses for losing this game they had Ibaka,Westbrook & Durant & let's not forget Parker didn't play in the 2nd half & the Spurs still won they were just the better team period
