I’ve been important this collection of Mark Daigneault however he pulled all the precise strings within the fourth. Caught with Lu Dort and rolled with Jaylin Williams for an extended stretch. Giving SGA a breather to begin the quarter gave him juice for the end too.

Simply unbelievable stuff from OKC to intestine out a sport like that towards Jokic at his best possible.
The nerves and clutch shakiness that we noticed in Video games 1 + 3 has disappeared in these final two.
That is the very best check this group may’ve confronted. They’ve answered the decision. Particular.
