| Final - 5.21.2012 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Los Angeles Lakers | 21 | 30 | 26 | 13 | 90 |
| Oklahoma City Thunder | 26 | 28 | 29 | 23 | 106 |
For this full recap, I'll be focusing on a few key areas that the Thunder struggled with in this game, and analyzing how they could have dealt with them better. I know that the Thunder won by a good margin when it was all said and done, but in order to move past a team like the Spurs, they've got to recognize some key weaknesses.
Let's enjoy this moment while we can. Forget about the Spurs, at least for tonight. In the span of a few mere weeks, the Thunder have defeated the two teams that have knocked them out of the playoffs, the Mavericks and Lakers.
