The OKC Thunders seems unstoppable after successful run in the first and second round of the playoffs which they eliminated the defending champion in a 4-0 series and a 4-1 series against the Los Angeles Lakers.
Now, in the western conference finals, they're destined to play with leagues most consistent and no.1 seeded in the post-season, the San Antonio Spurs.
This series is most likely to be a battle between "youth and experience".
Spurs, is a veteran-full kind of team, to name some, Stephen Jackson, Tim Duncan and Tony Parker.
On the other hand, the Thunders are a hungry, aggressive , and athletic kind of team due to the "youth" factor that they have. But in Game 1 of their Western Conference Finals, Experience prevails.
As the Spurs scored 39 points in the last quarter compared the Thunders' 27 points. The Thunders outscored the Spurs during the second and third quarters of the game putting them in the lead after three quarters of play. But in the fourth quarter, the thunder seems to be out of gas, missing shots and just scoring 2 points after almost five minutes of play in the fourth quarter.
Manu Ginobili lead the Spurs off the bench with his 26 points as the Spurs win Game 1 of their 7-game series.
Now, lot of questions are asked and to asked, one of them is can the Thunders bounce back from the lose?
can the Thunder overcome the experienced that the Spurs has? Will Westbrook support KD and explode?.
On thing is for sure, this series will be a classic.
Youth versus Experience...which will prevail?
