•Brooks on KD finishing strong after a slow if not sluggish start: “That’s what stars can do. They can have an average game, and then in the last four or five minutes they can win the game. And I thought that’s what he did tonight. That’s what makes him a special player.”
•Westbrook finished 7-for-22 from the field. But he had 16 points and 12 assists against only two turnovers. The line looked great aside from the shooting. But it wasn’t the greatest performance. Far from it. Yet Brooks praised Westbrook for his all-around game. “I thought he had just an all-around great game,” Brooks said. “He didn’t shoot the ball well. But what Russell does is he plays hard; he fights through screens. He was really good defensively. He set a good screen to (allow) Kevin to get open on the big 2…I thought he had one of his best games.”
•While KD was playing possum, or whatever he’s calling it, Serge Ibaka kept the Thunder in this one. He scored 11 of his 21 points in the opening quarter and looked great both in the pick-and-pop with Westbrook and crashing the boards for putbacks.
•Ibaka and Thabo Sefolosha scored 16 of the Thunder’s first 18 points. Let’s just say it wasn’t by design.
