Thunder took control of the Western Conference Finals by beating the Spurs on the road in the pivotal game five to take a 3-2 lead.  This was the first game in either conference finals series that has been won by the road team. Thunder now have a chance to close out the series in game [...]

Oklahoma City tied up the series with San Antonio at 2-2 after a great performance on both sides of the ball by the two big men, Kendrick Perkins and Serge Ibaka.  Like coach Pop would say, they got some nasty.
