The San Antonio Spurs erased a nine point, fourth quarter deficit in about 3 and a half minutes to derail the Thunder's hopes of stealing game one. Tonight, OKC looks to even the series, but can they do it?

San Antonio doesn't rely on Tim Duncan anymore to be the man every game, so when he gets 16 points and 11 boards, the other team has to hope he's leading the team that night. In game one, Manu Ginobili had 26 and Tony Parker had 18. If the Spurs' big three go off like that, it's tough for anyone to beat them.

OKC will have to try to control the tempo, which they did for three quarters in game one. Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook and James Harden did what they normally do, but it wasn't enough. The Thunder need more than 17 combined points from the other starters. Kendrick Perkins needs to be a beast on the offensive glass. So Who's Going to Win? »

Kevin Durant Puts the Thunder Up 2-0 in Series (VIDEO)

Kevin Durant Knocks One Down!

Don't get me wrong here folks. I love Los Angeles. It is a thriving, exciting metropolis of dreamers and beleivers that think they have something that the whole world wants to watch, and if the world doesn't, well--it's the world's loss (and the beaches are great too).

Maybe that's why I enjoyed watching a team from the middle of nowhere America (sorry, Oklahoma City, but there isn't much to you) take it to Tinseltown and show those pretty boys that there needs to be some substance (not named Kobe) behind the flash. When the flash isn't enough--like last night in Game Two of the Western Conference Semi-finals--Hollywood does not get its happy ending.

This shot by Kevin Durant capped an incredible comeback by the Oklahoma City Thunder to put them up 76-75. They went on to beat the Los Angeles Lakers 77-75 and take a commanding 2-0 lead as the series heads out west for Game Three.

NBA Playoff Roundup – Thunder Rolls and Heat Sizzle

There were only two games in the NBA Playoffs on Thursday night, and they both ended up pretty much the same. New York lost at home to Miami to go down 0-3, and Dallas lost at home to Oklahoma City to go down 0-3.

Miami 87 - New York 70

The Knicks are terrible, especially with Amar'e Stoudemire on the bench with his arm in a sling after losing a fight with a fire extinguisher case and nearly losing half of his hand. New York had nothing going, and the Heat cruised to the win behind LeBron James' 32 points, 8 boards and 5 assists. Dwyane Wade added 20 points and Chris Bosh made it to the game after the birth of his son earlier in the day to grab 10 boards and score 9 points. This series is over, basically, and I'm sure being down 0-3 won't do anything for the Knicks interest. At least Kate Upton was at the game. Read More » »

Kevin Durant Wins Third Straight NBA Scoring Crown

Kevin Durant won his third straight NBA scoring title

Oklahoma City Thunder star Kevin Durant was the youngest person to ever win the NBA scoring title, and now he's the youngest to ever win three. Durant was leading Kobe Bryant in the race, with Bryant needing 38 tonight to overtake Durant.

It's not going to happen because according to Lakers.com, Kobe isn't playing tonight. That gives Durant the scoring crown with a 28.0 per game average for the 66 game season. Read More » »
