The real Thunder and Hawks

The Oklahoma City Thunder responded to their Game 1 thumping.

The Thunder host the San Antonio Spurs four days after they evened the series with a tense 98-97 win in San Antonio in Game 2.

The Thunder lost Game 1 by 32 points and were thoroughly embarrassed.

The Hawks were buried by a record-setting shooting performance from the Cavaliers in Game 2.

Cleveland hit 25 3-pointers in the game, led by 36 at halftime and breezed to the win.

There was some grumbling from Hawks players after Game 2 about Cleveland continuing to shoot 3-pointers in the fourth quarter when the outcome was no longer in doubt.

There may come a time for the Cavaliers when the 3s just aren’t falling with the accuracy that they have in the first two games of this series, and Lue is bracing for that.

The 6-foot-11 post player exploded for 38 points on 18-for-23 shooting in San Antonio’s 124-92 win in Game 1.

He followed it up with 41 points on 15 for 21 shooting in OKC’s win in Game 2.

The Thunder do not plan to make big changes to their defensive game plan for Game 3.
