It's CJ McCollum who was very calm in both

game

s of the tournament. Shay. right next to McCollum he stops and the soft kiss on the window Angra loves Jones' mid-range shot from the outside and she Jones has taken great walks on her three-point shot and it shows Jones stepped up and Balunis was able to clear the clock shot clock is about to expire, as McCullum simply ran ahead of the shot clock while going left, a small jab step, the mid-range shot, something he has been comfortable with all season and that one remains. You see two defenders on.

SGA uses the speed shots right next to n and Ingram makes it to the cup Ingram is harassed by kenri Williams doesn't want a difficult and hard shot from the fade too strong excellent excellent defense by C Williams and they made Brandon work to get a difficult shot and look what it leads to on the other end, it's Dort wasting no time as he goes in on those three, they go right back to Ingram, he's had the ball in his hands a lot, he loves that fadeaway shot, uses some length on him and there is The second time the Pelicans have been able to beat the expiring shot clock, it is Al Verado for the Pelicans to get into their offense, Joe and floats him up and in as both teams have battled from three points and achieves a good deviation.

Shay in front of the post. finally gets past Hayward's steal, great hustle, great anticipation of SGA's initial reflex and gets to the bucket that will force a Pelicans timeout and the first shot of the second quarter is great to see, as well as Jaylen. Williams overturns his first shot timeout as McCullum comes out of the timeout as Willie Green and calls a timeout just 13 seconds into the second quarter, it's Murphy carrying it and got it gone when he drives, turns, locates the rim and that's Go to dance is a light touch as Murphy again tried to attack.

He did it in the regular season without success and Homen once again stood like a wall and almost exactly in the same place is Murphy, can another three this time it is McCullum and his three bells came home and all three were really dry in the first quarter and the Pelicans suddenly made it two in a row. YY gives up and finds his man, KAS Wallace, sneaking into the baseline with Pace weaving up. the flat finds Wiggins, he'll push the DPS back from the house R took a little hit and the reverse layup squeaks on the sideline three there's a miss and jayb picks it up in the air good job by jdub to help on the pass oh, here's a little Strength down there in the lane plays through contact and one, the skip pass to Marshall and Marshall off the bench continues the trend pelic here, three point shot to Jay up top, it's Wiggins, he'll let it fly from three, it's not going to I miss that instant production of three Wiggins open from the bench, the column that didn't look good, but Marshall was able to fly and work a little physical with Murphy in it, a

game

that is tied at 33.

Ingram, a little pushed and capable of winning. everyone on the court, this is a good move with the Thunder basketball and why not drop one this time by Jay. Ingram will drive again. Jed Holdr came up and just finished it out of bounds. Mullum pressed inside. The boy from New York, CJ McCollum, has done it. to make some plays Michael at the end of the shot clock angram the line midrange shot falls hren kicks to Wallace Corner three bottoms Murphy hit a hip on SGA throws it to valent Tunis and his 15 foot shot is good are two of the The best defensive teams in the NBA, when Valentin Chunis starts scoring in the third quarter, Dor lines him up from deep and has another three to get to the sixth, May three, there have only been two guys in double figures, both up, the entire Thunder stayed on top. double figures with that last bucket and how about that last bucket from Ingram Cullum circles around he didn't want to shoot instead outside it's Murphy and Murphy hits the three and Mark D calls a timeout and then gets hurt there's a step back three buried by J du right after the timeout and on the jump it's Dort tossing Fort fighting for The Possession and leads SDA to fly across the floor off the glass for the deu alen to spin and fade with a hard shot and he's going to get the roll . jdub skips it.

SGA checks that the tape has the game he likes, shoots it just over and a little mini run here for Oklahoma City continues with the biggest lead of the game for OKC McCullum in the lane, scores, allowed Ingram to get in any Consistent pace, he's been a facilitator more than anything as Murphy can continue to let that three fly, which is his fourth of the game and the cut there from Murphy and Jones found him, Jayb was downhill and Murphy blocked him initially, in the second effort, Jayob was able to stay. with some power, Shay Beer's inside stops and hits a diving Murphy and the two SGA again and Marshall could have affected it enough as Alvarado with the McCullum feed and now it's pelic's turn to dig deeper into a deficit and fly and make contact.

Not good for Marshall, they sent him to SGA now he wants the speed to bounce off Daniel's left hand and scores in transition since he wasn't going to be stopped in the open field. JB enters for the offensive. Joe wants to hand over control to Jay. dug Cortes to the left floats him up and there is the substitution that Mark was not looking for, he came in for his offensive Al Verado Hayward ate little Euro Stephan, now it's time for Joe's corner from Oklahoma City and he got a big shot to end the third great read, leads to Giddy and Hrin puts him back from the start.

Miss Allen Tunis shoots Marshall. he goes to the line and an alren has some space right away that time he takes him down. Murphy doesn't hesitate from behind the three-point line, that's his big three, he doesn't want McCullum to take the three that he makes and it goes right into it, which is a quick burst from the Pelicans. Shay kept that pivot foot down somehow, a series of moves still rocketing him over Marshall's sideline three. Ingram is not good and Murphy's follow up dor wall fakes towards Jay will look for a boom and got the boom on the sideline mullum series of moves hard shot and can still connect Ingram slides it to Nance and Nance raises too much McCullum to Jones Jones from outside and we are tied at 88 consecutive turnovers and Ingram will give the Pelicans the lead when Mullum to Nance Nance blocked what play by Chad Homr down on two mid-range shots from Shay and now we are tied at 90 with less than a minute for the end.

Cullum, Nance, oh, it was blocked. a rejection by hren is now going to have to make a move that unbalances the foul more, so now SGA can convert that free throw to turn it into a three-point game, look what the Pelicans do, they go for three or two McCullum fades, they go for both and receive a lot of pressure. Al will get fouled and the Pelicans decide that foul got the second and there's Willie Green's timeout as McCullum goes for the three. McCullum dribbles it. His foot doesn't do anything, he leans on McCullum, the three of them are too strong and it's over.

The Thunder stops the final possession and takes game one2. That's why you love playoff basketball.
