Thunder 119 Celtics 104


I'll be honest I turned this game off when it was 72-49 at half time. The Celtics kind of made it a game in the 2nd half, but that happens a lot when you are just destroying a team. The Celtics are old, slow, and without their best player. The Thunder are young, fast, and have one of the best players in the NBA. When that happens this is the result you get.

Russell Westbrook scored 31 points, Kevin Durant added 28 and the Thunder burned one of the best defensive teams in the NBA for the most points I've ever seen in a half. Did it surprise me? Not really. I sure did think it would be 72, but I also didn't think this game would be close. The Celtics to even have a remote chance against the Thunder would need Rondo, Bass, and Jermaine. They would need Rondo to have one of those triple-double games, and Allen, KG, and Pierce to put up similar numbers as they did last night. Oh, and they would have to play defense like they did in the 2nd half. That's asking a lot from a team of this age, and that is why it is looking more and more likely that the "window" is closed.
