If thunder out scored Warriors in 1st, 2nd and 3rd quarter how do they lost the game ?

Question

In the 4 th?

Answer 1

That's game-plan/coaching, basically Steve Kerr finally figured out how to deal with the Thunder's plays, and setups, and managed to disrupt them.



When you look at the film, check to see how they position, the 1st 3Q's the Warriors stand between the basket, and the player, about 2 steps away. in the 4th, the Warriors stand diagonally(slightly in front of the player, waiting to intercept the pass, rather than defend the basket), and that press worked, it upset the rhythm of the Thunder.



Also on offense, the Warriors played more compact, with a wide outlet(it means that 4 players step-in towards each other, and the wing-player stays deep in the corner. It created that extra-room making it impossible for the help-D to switch over.

Answer 2

The Thunder only outscored the Warriors by 8 through the first 3 quarters, and the Warriors outscored the Thunder by 15 in the 4th. The final score is all that matters.

Answer 3

Yes, the 4th quarter was the difference in the game. It's kind of like poker where a player can lose a few small hands, win 1 big hand, and overall are ahead of where they started.

Answer 4

Westbrook n Durant feels dry to me for some reason....i think they're very powerful 1 2 pouch that just can't win it this year. OKC is like the meaner but younger brother of the GS warriors. Big brother wins it at the end vs his athletic, meaner, little brother.

Answer 5

They Choked, that's all.



You can actually say the game was decided in the last 5 minutes of the game. And OKC is just not there mentally when it comes to closing out high stakes closely contested games.

Answer 6

The least clutch player in the NBA made an unfortunate appearance.
