There was no shortage of storylines on Sunday night in Oklahoma City. It was the first game for the Thunder without Andre Roberson, and a follow up on the dramatic (and testy) triple overtime thriller from earlier this season in Philadelphia.
We had over 50 fouls, a plethora of SportsCenter-worthy dunks, and some terrific staredowns in between. It’s a real shame that these two teams don’t meet again this season.
This game was another example of what makes the NBA so great. You had established superstars like Russell Westbrook, Paul George, and Carmelo Anthony battling it out with the league’s future stars in Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons.
