The Spurs are in trouble.
The Oklahoma City Thunder have continued their magic carpet ride through the most roller-coaster post-season they’ve ever been involved in last night, and with a thorough victory over the Spurs–who seemed to have their number in the first and second games of this series–they’ve evened up their best-of-seven series with the defending Western Conference Champions, and carry an immense amount of momentum into a pivotal Game 5, which tips off at 9pm.
Gregg Popovich is known for being a surly, stern man-of-little-words, but he was especially void of vocal responses in both his in-game interview with TNT’s David Aldridge, and several reporters in his post-game press conference following a disappointing performance by his San Antonio Spurs. A particularly great moment? The onset of his interview with David Aldridge.
David Aldridge: “Pop, how did you think your team played in the first quarter?”
Gregg Popovich: *gives David Aldridge the epic blank stare of a man who has won 4 championships but for the life of him can’t figure out how to stop Russell Westbrook*
