2. San Antonio Spurs (6-2)

For those that thought the San Antonio Spurs would easily dispose of the Oklahoma City Thunder were wrong. It’s going to be a dogfight and we saw just that in Game 4.

The biggest thing, though, is that the Spurs did do their job in Oklahoma City. They stole back homecourt after losing it to the Thunder in Game 2. Truth is, the biggest reason why the Spurs lost Game 4 was because they went cold in the fourth quarter.

Kawhi Leonard and LaMarcus Aldridge shot a combined 0-7 from the field and only scored one point in the final frame. Overall, the Spurs were outscored by Kevin Durant 17-16 in the quarter.

Either way, it’s 2-2 heading back to San Antonio.
