With Paul George taking over late and eventually hitting the game-winner, it’s easy to forget how truly terrible this game was for the first 41 minutes. The Thunder trailed by two after the first quarter, 16 at halftime, 18 after three quarters, and faced a 20-point deficit at one point in the fourth. When George and Westbrook checked-in with 8:53 remaining, the Nets held a 97-80 lead that, honestly, felt pretty safe. After all, the Thunder shot just 38 percent in the first three quarters and Brooklyn was lights out from long range. It appeared to just be one of those nights.
