THUNDER 101, NUGGETS 106
APRIL 24 - The day the Oklahoma City Thunder ended it's regular season. And it was a loss to the 6th Seeded Denver Nuggets. Although this game wasn't as nearly important for them, I think it would be better if they had won this game. The Oklahoma City Thunder lost by 5.
I believe they came up short because of the lack of offensive production of Team B or the bench. The Sixth Man James Harden, who was elbowed by Metta World Piece and suffered a concussion, was cleared to play. But, Coach Scott Brooks refused to have him play in the Regular Season Finale because he might have one again due to bright arena lights.
There were definitely highlights. Like the one when All-Star Small Forward Kevin Durant dunked on Denver Nuggets Center Javale McGee. And the performance they had showed throughout the season was only 50% according to Point Guard Russell Westbrook. “I’ve seen it before. I have seen us turn it up a notch. We started off the year on that level and we can hit that level again.” He and teammate Kevin Durant talked after the game on how they will turn their performance on the day the playoffs will start.
By the way, KD scored 32, so Kobe needs to score 38 to win the scoring title. GOOOOOOO KDDDD!!! If Durant wins this one, he'll become one of the elite players (George "Iceman" Gervin, the Great Michael Jordan and others) who grabbed the Scoring Title three times CONSECUTIVELY. Plus, he'll be the youngest player (Aged 23) to nab those three consecutively.
