Hard to believe that Klay barely got a mention in the game recap..scored 32, made a late 3 pointer to cut a 4 point deficit to one, made a and-1 in overtime to tie, made a driving layup followed by hustling back and knocking the ball away to set up the Iggy free throws to send game into overtime.
It's tough being Scottie Pippen sometimes.
D'Angelo coming up huge today. 39 14/21 fg, 8/12 3pt, 6 reb, 3 assists and a steal but worst of all he got us the W.
Most 3's by a rookie in 6 years
Most points by a rookie in 5 years
Most points by a LA rookie regular season since Elgin Baylor way back in 1959.
Jeez. Rockets shoot 3-34 (8.8%!!!!!) on 3 point attempts in a victory, setting a nba record for making less than 4 shots in 30 or more attempts.
Thunder must have their confidence shot right now..a few consecutive tough losses with them being unable to execute in the fourth quarter. KD nearly a quadruple double tonight! In a not so good way though.. 9 turnovers..
I think it's a bit early to make a call on Donovan. It's just this stretch of games that they've thrown away leads that has really been a downer for them. A lot of times, the Thunder end up losing because of turnovers and poor defense. KD and Russ have just not been particularly sharp in closing out games. Warriors had so many layups and dunks in the 4th of this game.donovan looks to be a below average coach to me. not sure what's up with some of his rotations. plus some of his players are below average too and guys like kanter are putting up empty stats. really, he just is not that good.

The most recent matchup with Dubs, Durant had 4 of the 5 Thunder turnovers in the fourth in a close game and they missed four shots from inside 4 feet. I would say that the players are the ones responsible for handling the ball and making bunnies. In their previous matchup in a game they should have won, Thunder were up 4 with 15 ticks to go. Durant made a critical turnover and then fouled Iggy for the game tying FTs, and the rest is history. Coach can't control what the players do when they throw the ball away or make an inadvertent foul.

For sure, KD and Russ are the ones who drive their offense. Russ is slightly more efficient with his shot selections this year and has been good on pick and rolls with Adams and Kanter. The worst team to watch on offense is Houston and Harden. Just dribble, dribble, dribble, dribble..force shot up or pass when defence doubles.
Cleveland? Run plays? I don't know about that. Seems a lot of isolation ball for LeBron and Kyrie predominantly.
