A recurring theme throughout the series has been Oklahoma City’s tendency to lose leads when (Russell) Westbrook sits in the second half.
Thunder center Steven Adams was asked about the issue, and Westbrook interrupted.
“Hold on Steven,” Westbrook said. “I don’t want nobody to try and split us up. We’re all one team. If I go to the bench and Steven’s on the floor and I’m off the floor, we’re in this together.
