The Oklahoma City Thunder need the right dominoes to fall in the coming days to grab the last spot in the Western Conference playoffs.
Specifically, they need a win over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday in conjunction with a San Antonio Spurs victory over the New Orleans Pelicans that same night.
No one in Oklahoma City is happy about the postseason future being partially out of the team's hands—least of all Russell Westbrook, who'd probably head-butt a tank mine before taking a handout from a conference rival.
Nonetheless, the Thunder need a San Antonio win, and one reporter thought it would be cute to ask the most competitive man in basketball if he "would call [himself] a Spurs fan" in light of Oklahoma City’s position.
