  • Intro:

    Post-game sound after the Oklahoma City Thunder beat the San Antonio Spurs 108-103 on Monday to take a 3-2 lead in the Western Conference Finals.

    Script:

    1. 00:00 SOUNDBITE: (English) Scott Brooks, Oklahoma City Thunder Head Coach (On team win):

    "I thought that was a total team effort. We stuck together, and we had a couple of bad stretches, but we didn't break. We battled through that. I thought everybody did a great job of chipping in. D.C. (Daequan Cook), I give him a lot of credit. That's one of the toughest things to do in this league is to stay ready. Everybody talks about it, but he has done that. He has worked and cheered and did everything under his power to get an opportunity to be ready, and he did a great job, stepped in and had eight points and I don't know how many minutes, two or three minutes. But everybody did their job. I thought we were, we played about as hard as we can possibly play, and defensively they're not an easy team to guard, and we really did a good job of challenging every position."

    2. 00:57 SOUNDBITE: (English) Gregg Popovich, San Antonio Spurs Head coach (On Spurs effort):

    "I didn't think we competed very well in the first half, and they competed for 48. That's not good enough against a team as good as they are. I was disappointed in the lack of competitiveness overall in the first half, the physicality, and I was proud of them that they came back and dug down deep and came back and competed in the second half. But we've been competing for three quarters in the past, and tonight we competed for two quarters. If we don't get that straight, it'll be over on Wednesday."
