They won so many of the categories, but when it comes down to it, what Anthony Edwards said after the game was everything. He said, quote, they outplayed us, out-rebounded us, got more of the 50-50 balls, wanted it a little bit more. Now, they didn't out-rebound them, but they did want it a little bit more. It's totally true. This game... Had OKC taking 12 more shots in the first half.

Those guys both score over 20. Jaden McDaniels scores over 20 to get them close, to get them to a tie-fricking game multiple times in the second half.
