The, the Spurs conceded 26 unguarded catch and shoot threes in that game.
And the Thunder made 15 of them.
They were 15 for 26.

And there are certainly some things that the Thunder can do better.
But I would argue several of those key swing factors went towards OKC last night.
and the Spurs ended up getting it done anyway.
And I would argue they kind of controlled the game.
The Thunder made their late comeback to send it to OT, but the Spurs kind of felt in control of that game for the most part.

And the number one thing that screamed to me off the screen when I was watching the film.
