The Thunder are now against the ropes on a must-win game after dropping the ball yet again in their past meeting. Now, is up to Chris Paul to prove why he’s one of the greatest players of all time.
Mike D’Antoni’s team demolished the Oklahoma City Thunder’s defense en route to a 114-80 victory in Game 5, even though Russell Westbrook was clearly rusty and struggled with his shot for most of the day.
The Thunder’s starting five just couldn’t buy a bucket vs. the Rockets, who never took their feet off the gas. Now, Billy Donovan’s team knows the window for error is closing in as another loss would send them back home.
