Thunder: Good shots, bad shots

Seems like the Thunder is on a very roll right now, not just in winning playoff games against the Nuggets. The Thunder seems to be taking good shots every trip down.

Oh, every once in awhile there’s a shot that’s not great for that time — an early-in-the-shot clock 3-pointer by Thabo, a caught-in-traffic drive by Eric Maynor, a hurried shot from anywhere by Russell Westbrook — but there can’t have been more than three or four a game in this series.

Scotty Brooks even talked about the 72-point game by Kevin Durant (41) and Westbrook (31) in Game 1, saying he only found a couple of shots combined that he wasn’t crazy about. Both by Westbrook.
