It was a tough night on Saturday in Thunder news for the Loud City faithful, with the Oklahoma City Thunder falling to the San Antonio Spurs 112-107 in overtime - dropping a memorable Western Conference Finals to the Spurs in six games.
However, from all accounts the Thunder accepted the loss with grace, regardless of how tough the elimination is to swallow.
Per Royce Young of the Daily Thunder, San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich had nothing but great things to say about Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook after Saturday's game:
Popovich on Westbrook and Durant: "They're class acts. They know how to lose, and they know how to win. I say that in a complimentary way."

Popovich didn't just reserve his praise for KD and Westbrook.
Gregg Popovich: "This victory is really sweet, because we know we played one helluva, helluva team."

There will be many analysts breaking down what exactly went wrong for the Thunder in Game 6 - especially with Tony Parker sidelined for most of the second half with an ankle injury.
This stat may be all anyone needs, though:
And all five came from Derek Fisher. RT @Jake_Trotter Wow, San Antonio outscored OKC off the bench 51-5
