Down to seven. McConnell beats Stru on the baseline. Heel around Oladipo. See, there’s nowhere to go once you get in the paint. That’s what I was saying. There’s nowhere to go there. And Victor made the steal and Lowry put it in. A good college score. And here switched up their defense now. They’re running a zone defense that backpedaling. Thunder. Got to find a way to break down this Miami defense that’s really causing problems. That’ll be a jump ball. Looks almost like a manto man. Giddy’s diagonal pass got picked off by Oladipo.
