‘LEGACY MOMENT’ 😤 Perk reacts to Thunder’s Game 4 comeback vs. Pacers | SC with SVP

perk i think uphill game is a is an apt description it felt like the thunder were were Cisphus pushing the rock up the hill and it would roll back down i didn’t know that they could climb the hill how’d they do it i’m going to tell you something we watch this young team grow right in front of our eyes especially their two young superstars in uh SGA and Jaylen Williams they weathered the storm in the first quarter second quarter third quarter and even in the fourth quarter and I thought Jaylen Williams did a great job of setting the tone attacking getting downhill he had eight free throws in the first half and then all of a sudden when they looked defeated at at a certain point in the third quarter here comes SGA to take him home right and they got it done on both ends of the floor let me say this about Chad Hol go ahead monster double double but the way that he slid those puppies defensively was impressive as hell in the fourth quarter to me the big three showed up and this was a legacy moment for those guys to come in and get this ro this win in a tough environment well I mean 3-1 and you’re in a world of hurt and instead they just again they steady themselves and at some point this young team if you’re going to win a championship perk you’re going to face moments of adversity they stared that down if you’re on the Pacer side and you’re looking at the totality of this night where you largely played from ahead what do you take from this with you on the road Monday well I mean you you got to match athleticism with athleticism and I thought tonight they did an excellent job when Miles Turner was on the floor the the Thunder were picking on them they were better with OB topping on the floor and I saw when OB Topper went to the bench I said the Thunder got it but let me tell you Scott we was wondering when was OKC going to find their offense when it mattered the most in the clutch and all of a sudden we saw the twoman game between Jub and SGA at the top of the key and it they ran it perfectly to get the mismatch they looked really stagnant for a lot of this game they couldn’t get anything going on the offensive end and I thought the Caruso minutes and buckets really kept them in a place where they could still win this game he’s a he’s the Swiss Army knife right he’ll cut you everywhere but loose i mean he did every single thing you would want he’s the champion you got We got to remember he was a crucial part of winning that championship for the Los Angeles Lakers and he stepped up not only making big shots but being the force and shout out to Lou Dorts he don’t get enough credit but in that fourth quarter I thought his pressure on Tyrese Hallebertton blowing through blowing up screens was also huge and look we got a seven game series on our hand feels that way doesn’t it and and again the the Thunder’s ability to I mean it wasn’t like they were rope a dope shout out to the late great Muhammad Ali they looked fatigued and they were able to find the energy uh particularly from Shay Le again those 11 in the final three minutes i mean that’s what he do one thing we know about this group they’re going to bounce back they learn from film but it this was their most most impressive win of the season in the postseason my in my opinion Scott they shot three for 17 from the three and Shay Gil Alexander the MVP didn’t have an assist on the night i said to Alex if I told you that before he said I would wonder why I’m sitting here with you because that that’s not the recipe for a victory that’s that’s the thing that to me that’s most impressive nothing about this really says this is a Thunder and yet it is final thought from me and sometimes you got to have ugly wins that’s what we call some of these wins ugly wins where you got to get it in the trenches one more guy that showed up Scott kendrick Williams he showed up his defense those early baskets he had he did some outstanding job on Pascal Seakum he came in he only had he only had 11 minutes but they were impactful i’m looking forward to game five it’s going to be rocking and this is what NBA Finals is all about these are the games we look forward to both these games in this building were I thought incredibly high level incredible effort and want to on both sides and uh it feels like probably the right uh the right accounting at this point tied at two games a piece per appreciate you travel [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause]
