The Thunder’s defense is still an issue, but I think their offense has started to figure Miami out. For one thing, as discussed in our series preview, the Thunder have been successful using Durant off baseline curls, both to get Durant points and to free others for open shots. For another, Russell Westbrook has started to calm down and has made a couple nice decisions to find teammates on the pick and roll.
The Thunder will need to step it up defensively to put a bigger dent into the Heat’s lead, but they’re starting to make a run.
