Nick Gallo with yesterday’s Thunder practice report: “Sure, there were a lot of aspects of Game 1 on Sunday evening that the Thunder can control, and can do a better job with, like turnovers and transition defense. There were also factors like shot making that the Thunder was fortunate to have go its way, but there even more areas where Donovan’s group executed crisply on its game plan, and that helped engineer the right start to the series. Forcing Jazz playmakers like Rubio, Donovan Mitchell and Joe Ingles into tough jumpers off the dribble instead of drives for passes is a goal for the Thunder defense.
Tuesday Bolts: 4.17.18
