The bench was excellent, especially after its "missing in action" performance in Game 1. Derek Fisher played his best game as a member of the Thunder, and it could not have come at a better time. The Thunder got nothing from Ibaka- though he wasn't likely to repeat his performance- and Durant had another sub-optimal shooting performance.

Following two close games, the Thunder have control of this series, though they could easily have lost both games. The Mavericks will have their fans behind them in Game 3. The Thunder need to establish themselves quickly, and "tighten their grip" on this series.

We'll have to see if it'll continue, but Fisher does seem to be playing more confidently of late.

[Plainsman]

Fish knows how to attack that zone.

Yes, FishSticks was much more aggressive when attacking with the ball. That seems to suit him the best. Let's give KD credit for having 16 FT attempts. Both teams as a whole seemed to play better than in game 1. I assume game 3 will see even better play.

This! He did a great job.

We've come a long way since the WCF.

[Thunderhead]

Copycat!

Yes, let's not dwell on the past no matter how glorious it was.
