Summary

The Oklahoma City Thunder evened the Western Conference Finals with a Game 2 win over the San Antonio Spurs, powered by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander looking like the MVP again. Wes Goldberg, Matt Moore and Haize break down OKC’s response, the adjustment of putting Isaiah Hartenstein on Victor Wembanyama, and whether the Thunder’s depth and defense are starting to take over the series. But injuries may become the ultimate swing factor. De’Aaron Fox missed Game 2, Dylan Harper left with a hamstring injury, and San Antonio committed 21 turnovers for the second straight game. Is Stephon Castle ready for this kind of role, or are the Spurs asking too much too soon? Then, Make It/Take It covers which injury matters more, whether Kyrie Irving, Anthony Davis or Kawhi Leonard is the best trade target, and if the era of veteran-led championship teams is over. Plus, Knicks-Cavs Game 2 is tonight. Can Cleveland recover after its disastrous Game 1 collapse, or are major changes coming if the Cavs fall short? Subscribe to Locked On NBA Daily for daily NBA playoff coverage, trade rumors and smart basketball debate.
