The Thunder have lost Lu Dort's minutes in all 6 games of the WCF.
They lost his minutes in 3/8 games of the first 2 rounds.... a stretch where they went 8-0.
OKC can't score or get stops when he's on the court against the Spurs. Starting him in Game 7 would be malpractice.

A classic Celtics tale.
Live by the 3PT, die by the 3PT
Orlando went 45 minutes between made baskets, going scoreless from 8:46 PM ET to 9:31 PM ET 😳
The Magic's 23 straight misses were the most by any playoff team this century.
