Thunder Dismantle Wolves in 2nd Half

Yeah, it's a lot of grenades that happen in this one, where they are shutting things off for the wolves in the paint, and they can't drive and kick like they want to, and then they just have to spray the ball out and then hope that somebody makes a shot, which is not exactly a great recipe for success. I think the Thunder... They feel good about the way that they played today.

It took them a minute to, they called it to recalibrate, because they had just played against Denver for seven straight games. It's mostly zone that's thrown at them. And Minnesota comes out and man, and you're like, oh my gosh, this almost feels like a regular season game because of the way the defense was being played.

Ja, sie hatten Raum, um ihre Plätze zu finden. Und das war wirklich groß für sie. Und Shea hat das sogar ausgesprochen, weil ich ihn gefragt habe, was er über die Defense gedacht hat. Und er hat gesagt, du weißt, Minnesota hat uns eine Zone in einem Spiel gegeben. Und wir wussten sofort, wie wir sie entfernen, weil wir gegen Denver gespielt haben.

Thunder Dismantle Wolves in 2nd Half

Well, we asked Mark about this all season. And his answer is always, it is not our game plan to get steals. Our game plan is to crowd teams in the middle. And that generates steals. Because they love to play the gaps. And that is a really important thing for them. And because they play the gaps, they're going to get steals. So it's just like a byproduct of what they're trying to do.

But they're never like, hey, we're going to sell out. We need to make sure that we get... 6 Steals in the second half or something. It's like, no, we're just going to execute our scheme and as a byproduct of our scheme, we're going to get Steals. If you play fast, it's going to benefit the Thunder. I thought it was really interesting. The Thunder, I think,

Diktative play tonight with their lineups. In the second half, and specifically in the fourth quarter, they didn't play Isaiah Hartenstein. They played small. And Mark closed this game playing J-Dub at the five. And playing all guards that were just so pesky with Shea. And they didn't have an answer for it. Because you get the ball to Nas Reed. And you have Lou Dort there.
