Spurs knocked out of the playoffs!

Today the San Antonio Spurs faced off with the Oklahoma City Thunders, potentially for the last time if OKC got the win and that was just the case! OKC took out their round 2 opponents with a convincing lead, winning Game 6, 113-99 on their home turf.
The Thunder move onto the next round, which is the Western Conference Finals.
Major factors contributing to their victory was a 17-2 run in the 2nd quarter with Kevin Durant knocking down a 3-pointer withe 2.3 seconds on the clock. Kevin Durant scored 37 for the night with a staggering 9 rebounds (all defensive) and Russell Westbrook put on a spectacular guard performance with double-double stats of 28 points and 12 assists. A well deserved win by the OKC Thunders.

At the Western Conference Finals, the OKC Thunders face off against the reigning champs Golden State Warriors and the current MVP Steph Curry who swept the Portland Trailblazers  (4-0) Wednesday night. This matchup will be very close with both teams being of high caliber play and expertise, without a doubt this these two teams are the best of the best and will showcase a display of blood, sweat and tears. Join the NBA on the 16th of May as the Conference Finals kick off, make sure not to miss out on these highly anticipated games.
