Game 6 Preview
OKC trailed by as many as 11 points and had an 8-point deficit in the fourth period. But the tough defense and Lugentz Dort, who made three threes in a row, pushed the Thunder to the lead in the series.
Shai scored 31 with seven assists, while five more players in Oklahoma had double-digit points. Jalen Williams scored 18 with 9 boards, while Alex Caruso came off the bench to add 13.
Jokic’s fantastic night with 44 points and 15 boards, where he made 5 threes in 7 attempts, was wasted. Why? Because Murray and Porter Jr. shot for three, 3-for-18. In the key moments of the game these two were mediocre.
Murray may have scored 28 points, but he had four turnovers and was shooting 10-for-27. MPJ had two miserable points in 29 minutes on the floor. When we add that the bench contributed 10 points in total, the loss was more or less inevitable here.
