Over the next 48 hours, the Thunder will have the chance to get back in the film room and identify exactly what went wrong in Game 6. Some avoidable, simple mistakes cost them — early foul trouble has a unique way of interrupting rhythm and flow, boxing out and not being overpowered by a team that is neck and neck in the rebounding department for the postseason — those are good places to start. At one point in the first half, the Thunder had successfully erased a double-digit deficit and built one of their own, before slowly losing control. The back-and-forth nature of this series almost makes a Game 7 a deserving, fitting end to this matchup. “It’s going to be very fun,” Gilgeous-Alexander said. “The highest intensity basketball you ever play. But at the same time, it’s still just basketball. Have fun, play free and let the chips fall where they may.”
