This has not been the start to a playoff series the Oklahoma City Thunder would've hoped for. Oklahoma City's poor late-game execution down the stretch of Game 1 of their second-round series against Denver cost them the series opener in the Paycom Center. After a bounce-back blowout Game 2 win, the late-game issues plagued the Thunder yet again as the offense labored its way to 104 points in a game that not only went to overtime but one that Oklahoma City chucked up 15 more shots than Denver.

It was a heartbreaking Game 3 for Oklahoma City. Before the wounds could heal from its Game 1 blunder, the Thunder let another clutch-time game slip through their fingers. A lot went wrong for the OKC Thunder. Not only just the final few minutes of the contest, but a plethora of mistakes to clean up that led to clutch time. The Thunder continued to miss free throws, still have not shot the ball well from 3-point land on the road in the playoffs and got out of sorts of offense in the second half.

Friday night was deja vu all over again for the Oklahoma City Thunder. Game 3 came down to clutch time and this team failed its retake exam. Just as the Denver Nuggets wrestled away Game 1 down the stretch, they did the same in Game 3. The opening act for the late game performance was much of the same, as well. The Oklahoma City Thunder faltered offensively, laboring its way to 104 points in a game that played five extra minutes.
