The Spurs found a way to lose Game 5 despite 20 Oklahoma City turnovers.
The Thunder dominated the glass, out-rebounding San Antonio 54-36, and
their bench was far superior in this matchup – Dion Waiters led all
players at plus-18 on the night. Russell Westbrook nearly had another
triple-double with 35 points, 11 rebounds and nine assists, but he also
had eight turnovers and shot 12-of-27 from the floor.
As dominant as the Spurs were during the regular season, they had their
problems with OKC, splitting their four games straight up and dropping
the cash every time. Now San Antonio is 2-3 SU and ATS in this series,
with no room left for error. Tim Duncan (11.8 PER playoffs) is having by
far the worst playoffs of his storied career, shooting 3-for-18 over
the past four games. Will Thursday be Duncan's last dance?
