Kevin Durant vs Blake Griffin Full Duel Highlights 2014 West Semis G3 - Thunder at Clippers

The Oklahoma City Thunder bounced back with a win in the second game of this best-of-seven series after the Clippers opened the game with an impressive road blowout in the first game, all tied at one game as we look at the Indiana brackets with a win tonight they now lead Washington 2 to one after winning the last two games of that series Miami impressive in their two home wins against Brooklyn equally impressive San Antonio up two nothing as that series will head to Portland and here we are To win three at the Staple Center like the Clippers at home, where they were 34 and seven over the course of the regular season and try to regain the lead in this series, Oklahoma City just has to make sure they don't catch fire and don't catch fire a nice move from Griffin right there to look at how he took on Mike and attacked off the dribble, you can create more speed and strength that way and dominate Abbaka, the little tear through Westbrook, he kicks it, Durant off the dribble, da a side step to the running back and gets the nice friendly bounce that always increases as the series continues Durant recovers his pass from Aon finds Ibaka for an open look Paul walks over to Griffin goes straight to Iaka who didn't want to commit his second foul Westbrook on the drive kicks it to rant good look for three usually there's someone open Barn is too strong on the layup almost tips it Jordan and Durant on the other end alone those are two of the easiest buckets you'll see him get an open three and a layup and dunk on the other end and OKC back in a transition in which they have given up on Griffin if he ever starts hitting that on a regular basis this year Westbrook already with four assists finds Perkins under the block on the driffin hard damage and strong when you're getting half a billion dollars, let's go back to Mike Breen for the game decision J.

Thank you very much. So many things have been said. Nice pass from Westbrook to Durant if he's going to make that big of a profit on the sale of the team, so it's a very difficult battle legally for Donald Sterling and really. there's not much of a chance when you talk to the lawyers and uh Crawford on the scoop drive blocked by Adams knocked off the glass picked up by Griffin seven to shoot Crawford attempts a three-pointer dunks the ball slanted away taken by Durant Durant the crosses and the layup sliding through the air with those long strides, man, there's been some crossovers in this game so far, Crawford Reggie and what Doc Rivers said is the guards are killing us on the boards.

Ibaka left it open. Jordan doesn't get it and Sergy Baka has three. for three field goals, they are shooting 58% and now lead by five. Durant enters the paint, shoots too short. Westbrook almost went through it, you see how high he was above the rim and again that's where they had a good pass. Griffin to Jordan and when he faces Durant, he's going to compete. Jordan throws him down that was near a back court and his heel touched him. He was very close. Durant advances blocked by Griffin Nick Collison back in the game with Ibaka and the three-foul Durant splits the defender.

L gets to go, he's got 21 here in the first half. Griffin down the lane and Westbrook goes towards Durant. Good open look for Kevin Durant. He is now 8 of 14 shooting. Barnes moves away from Durant. A good open look for Matt uncovers everything Kevin Durant was saying. What makes fins so tough since they make so many difficult shots? It's easy to get discouraged. How about Jordan plays well with Durant and picks him up and Barnes pushes Perkins Barnes? Annoyed, he thought there was contact. Durant runs through Ibaka, that elbow jumper he's had so much success with. He is now four of four from the field.

You know, Chris Paul said. You know that no. Which did not come out aggressive. I think the Clippers. like Durant last year, Vinnie Del Negro, who was the coach last year, always tried to tell Paul to look for one more shot on those, Griffin, good open look, you protected the lane on Paul's drive in the role of Jordan, you can't take it all away. good feeding Durant, the end Griffin has to be inside and remove that pass Griffin catches and makes series so he didn't play much in that game either Griffin excellent two-man game again Chris Paul 18 points 13 assists and not a single loss Butler and Durant they play catch Dudley on Durant four to shoot Durant the wild shot and he makes it.

He made some very difficult shots tonight and Chris Paul is sitting right now Durant still in the game three distances from Griffin the rebound Durant The miss this time is Jump Adams on Griffin Griffin comes in using his left hand Durant goes to Dudley, commits a foul and one Durant does it again and an opportunity for a three-point play and Jared Dudley just doesn't have the lateral quickness to be able to stay in front, an eight-point turnaround, Griffin up and can't get it to go, leans in second effort and four points and Matt Barnes is not even involved in the team's defense blocked again by Griffin, his third rejection Barnes as We have been saying that he is a very good defensive player.

Durant launches a Butler for a three-pointer. That's good. Butler from the middle and redirects that pass higher. It can't be a bullet pass to the corner. Fifth assist for Durant. He had nine assists in the second game. Griffin gets inside powers at 28 for Blake Griffin where he hit all of his previous jump shots Griffin guarded by Butler tried to push him away Griffin Barrels right in the goal Barnes right on top of Durant finds Butler again it's good Butler once again with all the greats Offense, we've seen some very, very good defensive plays, look at the numbers these two have put up, we've had 13 blocked shots in the game, not as many as 17, which today, by the way, is Elmore Smith's 65th birthday, happy birthday, Elmore Smith, who still holds the NBA record for most blocks in a game 17 Griffin goes right at Ibaka again playing with five fouls simply dominates him Paul on Durant looks to double Durant turns and hits which Durant shot is 36 and OKC with their biggest timeout lead of the night in Los Angeles and again they are changing those pick and rolls Chris Paul does a good job with his body position, but Kevin Durant is too big, so he just steps away and makes an impossible and the Clippers lose by eight the biggest lead of the game of either team Griffin receives it and throws it Paul trying to make a free throw doesn't work and that will be done Oklahoma City wins consecutive games in this Western Conference semifinal regains home-field advantage and now leads the best-of-seven series two games to one, so after another night of NBA playoffs, Indiana wins on the road and they're up 2-1.

Miami will play at Brooklyn tomorrow night. San Antonio will play at Portland tomorrow night.
