Thunder win a thriller to go up 3-1

The Thunder the whole game just could not seem to get the Laker lead down they would score and make it a 6 pt game but then the Lakers would come right back down and Kobe would make a 3 or something. Instead of the Thunder regrouping for Game 5 the Thunder stayed and decided to fight and w/ Westbrook and Durant leading the charge they pulled it out. With about 11 seconds left Durant pulled up for a 3 and drained it over Metta World Peace to go up 101-98 this put the Thunder in great position but then here comes Kobe with 5 seconds left being covered hard by Harden who did a great job all night defending Bryant so Kobe pulls up a fade away 3 ...it hits the rim bounces again and Perkins made an amazing one handed catch to snag the rebound and that did it. Westbrook showed a lot of maturity keeping his teammates up and not giving up he had 37 Points and was dominating in the second half. Durant and Westbrook combined for 21 points in the 4th quarter which outscored the hole Laker team who had a total of 20 points. The Thunder go back to OKC looking to move forward to the Western Conference Finals against probably the Spurs who are up 3-0 on the LA Clippers. Look to see the Thunder come out with huge energy and I think they get the job done.
