Chad Finn summed this up well. This GS team is reminiscent of past legendary Celtics teams. Also, people should give GS the credit they earned last night rather than trying to rename it an OKC choke, which it was not.

"But their work was breathtaking Monday night, and I mean breathtaking in the good sense. The Thunder did not choke; they were down four points, on the road, in Game 7, with 1 minute 40 seconds left, and Warriors fans were terrified of Kevin Durant at that moment. You know what happened? The Warriors went out and won it with extraordinary shot-making in pressure-packed circumstances. What Thompson and Curry did … well, to put it in our local parlance: It’s the kind of thing that made Larry a legend."

The Thunder had 3 chances to end series and ended up being the 10th team to lose after being up 3-1.

I think being down 4 points on the road in game 7 against the record setting 73 win defending champs is a heck of an accomplishment, and just about every team in the last 10 years would be glad to be in that situation. They couldn't close it out, but that's because GS had some historic shooting displays.

Like I said before the Thunder had a chance to close out the series. This wasn't a back and forth affair. They were 1 game away from the finals.

They didn't choke in game 7 but they certainly choked in game 6. No denying that.
