OKC Thunder Eliminated in the first round of playoffs in Game 6 95-94
In an upset to Oklahoma City Thunder Fans everywhere the Thunder lost in Game 6 of the playoffs against the LA Lakers. The entire game was quite close, definitely a game where the fans all sat constantly on the edges of their seats. Each quarter had the OKC Thunder and the LA Lakers nearly matching each other for points.
Kevin Durant must have the feeling of letting his team down with a game-high of 26 points but missed 18 of his 23 shots in a display that summed up this game. “No matter how bad I shot, I always came out there and played hard and tried to do other things to help my team win,” Durant said. “So I can live with myself knowing that I came out there and gave it my all every game no matter how (inefficient) I shot the ball. That’s all I can ask for. That’s all my teammates can ask for. Even though this loss hurts, we all gave it our all every game. That’s all we can do.”
If there is one thing to take note of this season about the Oklahoma City Thunder it is the fans. The stands were filled to the brim with blue shirts and waving banners, the screaming fans animated. I think the Thunder Basketball team now knows it has a 100,000 person family supporting them. We’ll all be there next season to push them even harder and hope to see another playoff season next year with the Thunder.
