OKLAHOMA CITY - The Serge Ibaka drama dominated all things Thunder related in Games 1 and 2 in San Antonio. Ibaka's return in Game 3 was also the talk of the town in Oklahoma City. But Tuesday, for the first time this series, Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant played like absolute, you-can't-even-debate-it superstars and that's why the Thunder won, 105-92 and why the series is tied at 2-2. The Thunder...
Yeah, That's A Point GuardWith four minutes left in the second quarter of a game that was inexorably going in the direction of the Thunder, guard Russell Westbrook was ridiculously out of position, with both feet and most of his body out of bounds.

Despite Derek Fisher still playing for the Oklahoma City Thunder as they try to make their way back to the NBA Finals, reports say the 18-year veteran is the "favorite to land the Knicks head coaching job at this point."

NBAE via Getty Images Serge Ibaka has been upgraded to day to day status. This is huge for the Thunder considering he was supposed to be lost for the season. OKC has gotten hammered two straight games by the Spurs. During the regular season OKC handled the Spurs beating them 4 games.

Ibaka IblockaWhen last we left the Spurs-Thunder series, it looked as over as possible. The Spurs had gone nearly wire to wire in two straight home wins, leading to extensive garbage time. Power forward Serge Ibaka was out for the season, and the Thunder had no idea how to get an acceptable lineup on both ends of the floor without him. The Spurs had that Inevitable Vibe about them, and OKC looked worse...
