Tweet of the Night: Kenny Anderson says Russell Westbrook is better off playing like Allen Iverson as a shooting guard
The Oklahoma City Thunder were supposed to come out in Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals against the San Antonio Spurs and show that they’ve made adjustments since getting blown out in their first meeting in Game 1.
