All things considered, this was objectively the Thunder’s worst game of these playoffs by a mile.
Entering Game 4, Oklahoma City’s worst 3-point shooting game of the postseason came in Game 1 of its first-round series versus the Phoenix Suns, making a forgettable 30.4 percent of their 46 3-point attempts. On Sunday, it connected on an abysmal 18.2 percent from deep, just 6 of 33. The Thunder also had 20 turnovers.
After an astonishing 76 bench points in Game 3, they entered the fourth quarter of a blowout with just 34 points from their reserves. Jared McCain and Jaylin Williams, after being monumental parts of a Game 3 win, combined to shoot 2 for 17.
Just one of these mishaps would’ve made Sunday night difficult. But all of them? A disaster.
