Russell Westbrook owns the best play of the 2012 playoffs. This steal and ridiculous “and 1” against the Lakers in game 5 rocked the home crowd in OKC and, judging from their faces, completely deflated the Lakers.
For the next 4 minutes the Thunder go on a 13-7 run to end the 3rd quarter setting up more of the same in the 4th.
2009 #1 pick Blake Griffin sat on the bench for most of the fourth quarter, while 2000 #1 pick Kenyon Martin won Game 7 for the Clippers (with a little help from Reggie Evans, Mo Williams, Eric Bledsoe, and, oh yeah, Chris Paul).
The much-maligned Vinny Del Negro deserves credit with sticking with his effective bench well into the fourth quarter, though it’s still possible Chauncey Billups is actually deciding the player rotations.
