Now, the most important point is that the presence of the Four Young Masters can't stop the Spurs from narrowing the point difference, and looking at the current lineup of the Spurs, it is completely a defensive lineup, and it is not all the main players, while the Thunder is all The main force played. After the third quarter, the four thunderbolts are exhausted, so what are they going to do for the fourth quarter? Not to mention that the Spurs can form a semi-main lineup in the fourth quarter!

"Wow! Beautiful lob! China An and Danny Green's perfect cooperation!" Kenny Smith shouted excitedly, but his voice was quickly covered by huge boos from the Chesapeake Energy Arena.

"The Spurs' defensive counterattack and Anxi's alley-oop dunk ended the offense, and the point difference is only 1 point!" Charles Barkley was booed hoarsely. "In the second half, the Spurs played an amazing defense. In this strong defense, the Thunder lost. In the entire third quarter, they had already lost 16 points.
