Missed 3s cost them.

It was in Gm 5 of 2014 series that Patty FINALLY showed up for the series & Danny came back to life after having B2B shitty games at OKC.

Not just the 4th quarter. Pretty much the entire game the refs bent the Spurs over.

The Spurs made their bed in the offseason. This is a mid range jump shooting team, not a 3pt shooting team. The downside of that is when they're going up against elite competition, a simple 5 point deficit is a three possession game.

Especially when the refs swallow their whistles on any Spurs and-ones. We simply do not get the benefit of many three point "the hard way" plays.

Kawhi completes four or five and ones every game but may only get two actually called.

:lol

This is a series that Spurs need to continue pushing the tempo with an average at best OKC defensive team when they start missing shots. That should open up some 3's in transition, which the Spurs have always played their best at. Have to play elite defense like they have most of the season though for this to happen fwiw.
