Leonard's strip to prevent Westbrook's layup is probably the biggest play of Leonard's career thus far. Absolutely CLUTCH defensive play right there :D

OKC coach Scott Brooks decided to go small in OT, with Ibaka at center. Either Brooks believed Ibaka can guard Duncan in the post, or he didn't give it much thought. Pop and Duncan obviously thought otherwise. In OT, the motion-offense heavy-Spurs suddenly switched back to their early 2000s self and fed the ball to Duncan in the post repeatedly. He punished Ibaka 3 times, netting 1 field goal and 2 shoot fouls (3/4 FT) and thus a total of 5 points. After the strip-steal by Leonard, OKC's defense was in shambles and while they managed to get back, a glaring mismatch happened - Reggie Jackson was guarding Duncan. Very soon both teams knew it - Jackson tried to front Duncan like a mad man because he knew he had no chance to guard Duncan's post up if Ibaka couldn't. He could only try to deny the entry pass. Manu tried to fool OKC's defense by passing the ball to Diaw against Jackson's aggressive move. When Diaw passed back the ball he immediately touch-passed it to Duncan. He fooled no one though, seemingly, as Westbrook even took the risk to leave his man Danny Green completely at the other side of the court and tried to steal the ball. Duncan, unfazed, caught the ball calmly with his back behind the basket. Danny Green was wide open and waived his hands like crazy. But Duncan, rarely, didn't pass because he knew neither Jackson nor Westbrook could guard him in the post. He had literally scored like this thousands of times before. And then he did, turned around and shot the ball over Jackson and Westbrook's outstretched hands. This is the 7th consecutive point Duncan scored in the OT. The Spurs scored a total of 11 points, of which the last 2 were FTs triggered by OKC to extend the game. So 7 of 9 points was scored by Duncan in the post when it still mattered. Not much national media talked about this in details then, but this was actually such a precious moment with so many subtle story line. In addition to it being the hardest win for the Spurs, It's a battle of wit of which Pop completely out-coached Brooks in the OT. It's Duncan, one of the oldest player in the league who made use of post up scoring - a skill largely rendered ineffective by the NBA along the years - to punish one of the best big men defender in the league. Even Duncan, one of the greatest post up player, rarely posted up by 2014. But the opportunity came, and Pop decided to go with it, completely changed Spurs offense. That's how much he trusted Duncan. And Duncan delivered. It's wisdom, trust, relic from the past, and the defiance of father time. It's the best game, and by far the best OT I have watched as a Spurs fan along the years.

He ain't wrong about that.

This Spurs team had one of the most dominant final 3 rounds in playoff history. After being tied 3-3 with Dallas in the first round, they won their last 13 playoff games by 23, 24, 17, 15, 22, 17, 35, 28, 5, 15, 19, 21 and 17 points. They had a throwaway loss to Portland when they were already up 3-0, two losses to the Thunder in this series and if not for a bad fourth quarter in G2 of the Finals they would have swept the Heat. OKC did well to compete in this series considering how dominant the Spurs became.

From the last 2 minutes of regulation and the OT it was basically Russ vs Timmy. Timmy at age 37 with all the miles on his legs, got it done one last time. Incredible.

As a Thunder fan, this game still hurts. But I still believe that the Spurs/Thunder series was the real NBA finals. They both played incredible in this game, but the Spurs ended up being the stronger team, and then went to dismantle Miami. Good series as always. Wonder what is in store for this year?

If Westbrook wasn't an idiot, there wouldn't be a need for clutch plays. OKC should've dominated them

That last shot by Westbrook is when KD officially made his mind up to leave

In this series the best Spurs players were Tim Duncan (38) and Manu Ginobili (36). Old man riverwalk was huge, averaging 17.8 points and 10.2 rebounds in 30 minutes. Manu had 15.2 and 3.7 assists and 1.5 steals in just 23 minutes. Diaw had a great series too, and that steal by Kawhi in this game was clutch. But at the end of the day the old dudes were the legends, once again.

This is why it's important to come back to watch the games and the players in archives .. Because it's easy to forget and become prisoners of the moment. Just yesterday KD , RussWest nd Harden were the he Future of the NBA (I remember Duncan as a Rookie) Now today Duncan is long retired , And KD , Russ , Harden are the aging Vetz , while Ant mans , Luka's nd Tatum's are the Present nd Future of the league.

This would be steve kerr's last game as a broadcaster

This was 8 years ago...Time went past so fast...Steve Kerr still as a commentator...Duncan in his last 2 years...

Ppl really blame Westbrook but he’s the reason they went into OT, I remember watching this when I was 14. KD was scared to touch the ball and when he did...he falls... and then he’s running away from the ball and taking bad shots. That’s why the commentator called him out “the MVP of the league hasn’t touched the ball in the last 3 possessions” he always said he didn’t want to be the guy. He got what he wanted in Golden state

The fact that the OKC Thunder got this close to getting in to the finals without a healthy Ibaka and with him being out for two games just shows you how dangerous they are. With a healthy Durant there's no doubt that they can go all the way like they should've done in 2012.

Steven H Wang 1.Parker was their best player at that point, not third best. At worst he was tied with Kawhi. 2.Parker was seriously banged up from games 4-6. He missed most of game 6. 3.The first two games were blowouts (combined 55 point differential with lots of garbage time) and in #2 the entire team was ice cold from the floor; Ibaka's presence would have made a minimal difference considering how little passing and intelligent play design takes place on OKC's offense. You don't get to make excuses when you're getting mauled like that, regardless. So whether you want to play the "what if" game or just check results, straight up, you lost. The spurs have been the better team since 2013 and were DAMN sure better last year. DEAL. WITH. IT.

Steven H Wang The difference between games 1&2 vs games 3&4 wasn't Ibaka, it was venue. All 3 games in SA were blowouts by the Spurs, Ibaka or not. The 3 games in OKC were 2 Thunder wins by double digits and one Spurs OT win.

This also showed how scary Serge was defensively back then.

Serge was also injured. He suffered a near season-ending calf injury against the Clippers at the end of the series and was expected to sit out the rest of the post season. If he was fully healthy, it's doubtful the Spurs would have won this series.

games like this bro you really miss the crowd they just play such a big role this was an amazing game💪🏾

As an Okc fan this and 2016 were my favorites season

how do you not give the ball to kd during ot 100% of the posession?

At 9:15 Durant knew he was leaving OKC.

od, intense finale to the series. Thunder managed to come back and force the game to overtime, but the Spurs kept their head and prevailed. That basket Duncan scored in the end of regulation would have been basket of the year if it counted IMO. San Antonio Spurs - Oklahoma City Thun

I miss this Spurs team so much... Timmy, Tony, Manu and Kawhi.

+Jwxo Weeye that's right

evidence of westbrook hurting durant, they would never win a chip together. westbrook's misses hurt the team. in clutch situations the ball should be with durant. he's taller, stronger and finishes better at the rim. he demands double team thereby creating an open three or shot for his team mate. on three possessions, westbrook took terrible shots while durant got just a contested three down the stretch. i remember this season when westbrook got injured and was replaced by reggie, the okc team played a lot better. durant got the shots he wanted, not shots westbrook couldn't take

+sambafootball123 Westbrook is completely different now, if you've watched any recent Thunder games he defer's a lot to KD down the stretch.

one of the best games. old vs new.

One of the scarier parts is the spurs always had an answer. Literally every single time. Even at the very end, Ginobili misses that tough falling away 17-footer, and Duncan puts in a POTENTIAL series winning shot directly after....just about 0.2 seconds after the clock expired lol Wow man this team had WILL.

I remember watching this live, and laughing hard at how anticlimactic Westbrook's shot at 9:20 was

Lol 8:39 someone on the left trying to blow the shot away😂😂😂😂

Not really cause the ball got stolen 2 second later and led to the Thunder scoring...

Finished Second like always Go Spurs!!

There was no ball movement at all in OKC at those critical moment, that makes the defender easy to focus on the one and only sbooter. Thanks to Westbrook ☺️👍 I am a fans of Spurs.

I remember that game in the last minute or so.scared the hell out of me
