What happened in the first half of the game?
I don't know if ESPN changed the broadcast, but that first quarter had a little bit of people quiet, a little nervous for OKC, but things turned around. What did you see out there, S?
Ja, ich meine, ich dachte nicht, ich meine, schau, der Broadcast ist immer seltsam, in dem Sinne, dass manchmal das Audio ein bisschen ausgelöst ist. Also ich frage mich, ob es das ist. Andrew, war es da ruhig am Anfang des Spiels?
Also wenn wir erwarten, dass die Leute so laut wie in Game 7 sind, dann ja, es war ruhig. Aber war es ruhig? Aber war es ruhig? Nein, es war es nicht. Wenn die Mannschaft, für die du fürchtest, 35 Prozent vom Feld schießt, ist das nicht viel zu hoffen. Und wenn sie, ich meine, Teil davon ist auch, dass sie einfach einfache Schüsse verpasst haben. In der ersten Quartier alleine waren sie 1 zu 4 auf Layups und 0 zu 4 in der Flotter-Range. Also, wenn du einfach einfache Schüsse verpasst hast und der Publikum bereit ist, zu poppen. In der ganzen Zeit in Oklahoma City. Und wenn da nicht wirklich was passiert, was dich da bringt, dann wird es die Leute ein bisschen aufrufen. Aber in der dritten Quartal war es wild.
Die Mannschaft hat gut gespielt. Sie waren damals noch wach. Aber die erste Halbzeit war einfach seltsam. Ich dachte, es war ein sehr seltsames Spiel. Statistisch, wenn du es anschaust.
Aber das Pacing war seltsam. Das war einer der größten Unterschiede, die Punkte in der Differenzial-Pain, mit der Thunder mit 54 und den Timberwolves mit 20. Im dritten Quartal sah man, dass die Timberwolves so viele 3s wie OKC versucht haben. which was 13, and Minnesota had 41 threes attempted by the end of the third quarter. And this was a tale of two halves, S. You saw Julius Randle go off in the first half, and then it felt like the fountain of Julius dried up.
in the second like i i've seen them i've seen the defense obviously being able to keep them out of the paint in the second half but julius let's let's start with him because i really feel like he's been having an unbelievable glorious playoff run right now yeah randall was awesome in that first half i mean without him i think uh minnesota would have been in a bit of trouble offensively just because his shot making he i think he was four or five from three in that first half yeah the way that he was able to stretch the floor from minnesota was massive because 5-6 eigentlich.
Da war er.
But OKC ended up making 52% of their threes and Minnesota ended up shooting 29% from three. It's sort of a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation, Andrew. And I know we've talked about this before, where it's like OKC will concede a lot of threes, right?
