Thunder 4th quarter melt down results in Game 1 Loss.

The Thunder looked pretty good going into the fourth quarter yesterday as they led by 9. The defense was playing amazing but suddenly the Spurs closed the gap to 6 then 4 then 2 then they starting running away with the game. The Thunder had no answer for Ginnobli who had 26 points including the 1st quarter buzzer beater. Westbrook looked pretty awful in my opinion with 17 points but only 5 assists which isnt enough for a "Point Guard". Heres my real problem though Durant the so called "Super Star of this team" only took 2 SHOTS IN THE FOURTH QUARTER now how are you supposed to close out a game when he doesnt shoot at least 6-7 shots. This could not saying it was could have been the result of Russell Westbrook who took 21 shots compared to Durant's 19! My theory is back on until Westbrook starts acting like a PG and finding Durant good looked shots which he never does he just passes it to him when hes like right next to him and until he limits his shots this series will be a long one! Harden also looked dazzled as he couldn't find an answer for Ginnobli. I wasn't very pleased with the big men either who let Duncan get 16 Points and 11 Rebounds but thats a whole different story. The Thunder need to split the difference in Game 2 because you cannot go down 2-0 or you will have to win both in OKC.
