It hurts to lose a game like the Thunder lost last night, especially because this Thunder team was theoretically built to win games like that. The idea when you build a “Big 3”, as the Thunder did in bringing it Paul George and Carmelo Anthony to play alongside Russell Westbrook. is pretty simple. You have three elite players who can make the game easier for each other, and you’ll always have someone to step up if the other two are struggling.
That didn’t happen for OKC’s Big 3 in game 2.
