Jose Alvarado, a kid from New York City, who couldn’t have been further away from the NBA Finals after starting the season with the New Orleans Pelicans is the unsung hero in a game that has put the Knicks on the brink of their first NBA championship since the 70s. What a story.
The Spurs are +17 on free throws in this series.
In their 2 wins they are + 24 (+10 and +14) in FTA compared to OKC’s +7 FTA in their 2 wins (+7 and 0)
In games with a single digit free throws discrepancy OKC is 2-0 in this series.
Which team are free throw merchants again?
There isn’t a whistle problem. The problem is Aaron Wiggins is the 12th player in OKC‘s rotation and would be the third best player on the floor for the Lakers.
Teams with most free throw attempts per game this season, including playoffs:
1.
2. Lakers
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
10.
11.
12.
13.

17. Thunder
The Fanduel era is ending in OKC.
And this is your reminder that other NBA franchises have Over The Air media deals w/ local stations. Phoenix Suns put 70 regular season games on free local TV.
@okcthunder can do this, too. Join me in encouraging them to do the right thing.
Shout out to the OKC crowd for rising to the moment.
SGA hit the shot to break Wilt’s record and Loud City roared through the next two possessions and into the timeout.
A standing ovation for Nikola Topić 👏
The 12th overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft is making his NBA debut for the @okcthunder tonight!
