3-1 series leads in the Western Conference Finals does not come along very often. After winning Game 1 in Oakland the Thunder had the home court advantage against the defending champions. Golden State after losing Game 3 & 4 respectively on the road appeared to be on the ropes. Oklahoma City played with so much energy at home led by their 1-2 tandem Durant & Westbrook along with the supporting cast. Oklahoma City defeated the second best team record wise in the previous round the Spurs. They appeared to be on the verge of getting to the Finals by beating the 73-9 Warriors. Golden State won Game 5 in Oakland. Ok...Ok no pun intended yet the Thunder still had Game 6 at home with everything on the line. Golden State comes back from an eight point fourth quarter deficit. Now Memorial Day night it's Game 7 time in Oakland. For OKC so much is on the line not just a Finals berth. Now will KD stay or go ? Will the outcome of Game 7 play a role in his decision making going forward ? After once being up 3-1 realistically can the Thunder go into Oakland and win ? More importantly how will they do it ?
