Durant scored 17 points on 5-of-14 shooting, Westbrook played abnormally and only scored 15 points on 4-of-13 shooting, Jeff Green didn't mention it, Harden scored 11 points on 4-of-10 shooting, and the Lakers' Gasol and Bynum blew up the Thunder's inside, the former scored 25 points, 11 rebounds and 5 assists on 10-of-16 shooting, and the latter scored 21 points, 11 rebounds and 2 blocks on 8-of-10 shooting. Backup point guard Jordan Farmar was a surprise player, scoring 14 points on 3-of-4 shooting, including two three-pointers, as the Lakers responded 111-87 to the Thunder.

The Lakers 3-2 Thunder, Game 5 is still played at the home of the Thunder, and the Thunder want the team to grab seven, which is more beneficial for the Thunder, which is dominated by young people, and the Lakers don't want to miss any chances, they don't want to return to the Staples Center. This game is very scorching!

In this crucial game, Durant's play was very substandard, only hitting 5 of 23 shots, but 14 of 15 free throws, still scoring 26 points "decently", Westbrook played abnormally again, hitting 7 of 20 shots, getting 21 points, 5 rebounds, 9 assists and 3 steals, Green played the best performance of the series, scoring 16 points on 6-of-12 shooting, and the starting center Christic, who was blown up by Bynum in the first few games, scored 11 points and a double-double of 11 rebounds, Including 4 frontcourt rebounds, substitute power forward Ibaka also played the greatest value and scored 10 points and 8 rebounds on 4-of-6 shooting, Harden's performance was sluggish again, playing 13 minutes, 1 of 3 shots, only 2 points, the whole game, the Thunder shot only 36.47%, while the Lakers were 46.83%, but the Thunder relied on 6-15 turnovers and 18 more free throws than the Lakers, and struggled to confront the Lakers.

In this game, Kobe Bryant recovered, scoring a game-high 32 points on 12-of-25 shooting, Gasol, who had been playing steadily in the previous games, did not play well in this game, scoring only 9 points on 4-of-11 shooting but grabbed 19 rebounds, Bynum also fell into a slump, scoring 6 points and 4 rebounds on 3-of-6 shooting, Fisher scored 11 points and 6 assists on 4-of-8 shooting, Shannon Brown stepped up on the bench, scored 11 points on 4-of-5 shooting, and Odom scored 9 points and 7 rebounds and blocked 3 times.

In the last six minutes of the fourth quarter, Artest first borrowed Fisher's pass to hit a three-pointer, and then hit a jumper, which will make the Lakers 91-84 ahead of the Thunder by 7 points, and at the critical moment, Durant hit a three-pointer to narrow the gap to 4 points, Artest then missed, Westbrook seized the opportunity to shoot and scored two points, narrowing the score to only 2 points!

After Kobe Bryant missed the shot, Durant basketed a key defensive rebound again, Westbrook shot a basket and caused Odom's foul, after Westbrook hit a free throw, the Thunder overtook the Lakers by one point 92-91, and then Durant hit a layup to extend the difference to 3 points, at this time there were still two minutes and thirty seconds before the end of the game, and the balance of victory seemed to be tilting towards the Thunder little by little, but who knows, Durant's breakthrough shot scored two points, It turned out to be the last time the Thunder scored in the whole game, and in the next two and a half minutes, the Thunder team didn't score a single point!

At this time, Kobe Bryant hit a two-point jumper, the Lakers 92-93 Thunder, and then Westbrook missed four consecutive shots, including the last desperate three-pointer, and Durant's performance during this time, except for a foul on Fisher, was nothing, not even a shot, a second before the end, Kobe missed a shot, Gasol hit a basket, and killed the Thunder.

Although the Thunder lost the series 2-4, Barkley, who was a TNT radio anchor at the time, called it one of the most exciting series in the NBA!

In the playoffs, the Thunder saw their lack of interior strength, and in the offseason, in order to avoid the pressure of the luxury tax, the Hornets traded the Thunder with the No. 11 pick and Morris Peterson, a player with a $6.6 million contract, to the No. 21 pick for the No. 21 pick for the No. 21 pick for the Thunder for the physical and defensive Cole Aldridge, the No. 21 pick for Craig Brightins, who is now playing for the Hornets, and the No. 26 pick for Quincy Bondset.

Cole Aldridge is known as the last hope of the American center, although he is only 6 feet 11 inches tall, but his arm span has reached 7 feet 6 inches, and the super long arm span makes him handy both in defense and in rebounding, but Aldridge's value is not only on the defensive end, his value on the offensive end is underestimated, he is actually proficient in a variety of interior offensive techniques, hook hands, mid shots, low hands, and the offensive range covers one step within the three-point line, The main thing that restricts Aldridge's development is his mediocre physical fitness, he can't run fast, he can't jump high, especially the sideways movement is very poor, he is a beat slower than others in making up for defense and pulling empty positions, and he basically has no sense of presence when defending and attacking, but despite this, Aldridge is only 22 years old and has a huge room for growth, Aldridge has played an average of 25.8 minutes per game this season, and can score 8.8 points and 7.9 rebounds, which is a qualified starting interior player.

The player who partnered with Aldridge on the inside is Jeff Green, 24 years old, who was drafted by the Celtics in the first round in 2007 for the 5th, and then came to the SuperSonics (Thunder) in a trade involving Ray Allen, Green is 206 cm tall and weighs 106 kilograms, this height and weight does not have any advantage on the inside at all, on the defensive end, he simply can't withstand the opponent's tall inside, facing Gasol, Duncan, Brand and other tall forwards are often blown up, but on the offensive end, Green has a kaleidoscope arsenal, from breaking through the ball to shooting three-point shots, Green is at his fingertips, but he has no signature skills, and the shooting rate is not very stable, from time to time, in fact, according to Green's technology, he is more suitable for the No. 3 position than the No. 4 position, but the Thunder No. 3 position already has a Durant, Green had to change to the No. 4 position, but obviously, the effect is not very good, This season, he averaged 16.8 points and 8.2 rebounds in 37 minutes per game, but shot only 39.1% from the field and less than 30% from three-point range.

The Thunder's interior players also include Nenard Kostic, Nick Collisson, Byron Mullins, DJ White and Gilsey Ibaka. Collison is the first round of the 13th pick in 2003, the team that selected him is the supersonic of the year, Collison has been playing for the supersonic or the Thunder in his career, he has been selected for the United States "Dream Five Team" and "Dream Six Team", his strength is undoubted, before as a starting center, he has the ability to average two doubles per game, as a substitute, he is also conscientious, regardless of the data gains and losses, his professionalism is amazing, in recent years, Collison is older, averaging 10 minutes per game to get 3 points and 3 rebounds, But with one year left on his contract worth $6.75 million, the Thunder will trade Collison this year to free up salary space for Green's contract extension.

Byron Mullins, 21, was picked by the Mavericks in the 24th round in the first round in 2009 and then swapped with Rookie Rodrigo Boobie, the No. 25 rookie of the year, to join the Thunder. Last year, Mullins played thirteen games for the Thunder, averaging 1.1 points in 4 minutes per game, it is clear that Mullins has not yet let people see his ability and potential, as an insider, his main means of scoring is mid-range shooting, rebounding protection and restricted area defense is very poor, if Mullins still can't play a brilliant performance this year, he will definitely be abandoned by the team at the end of this season.

DJ White, 24 years old this year, was selected by the Pistons in the first round of 29 in 2008, and was traded to the Thunder on the same day, White was a star in college, but after arriving in the NBA, due to height and technology and other reasons, White has never been reused, and even worse, he was also hit by injuries, and only played 19 games in his rookie season in the first two years, averaging 7 points and 3.5 rebounds in 12 minutes per game, shooting 55% from the field, This saw White's potential, so after White's two-year rookie contract ended, the team exercised his third-year team option, and this year the team brought in Aldridge to further reduce White's playing time, and White averaged only 5.5 minutes per game to score 2.2 points and 1.4 rebounds.

Nenad Kostic, a Serbian-born player, was selected by the New Jersey Nets with the 24th pick in the first round of the 2002 NBA draft, but did not land in the NBA until 2004. Averaging 16.8 points and 6.8 rebounds per game, the following year of injury, Kostic has been up and down, in 2008, Kostic signed CSKA Moscow on a $900,000 contract, and in December 2008, the Oklahoma City Thunder signed Nenad on a three-year, $15.6 million contract. Kostic, Serbian center returns to the NBA. Kostic was originally the team's starting center, averaging 22 minutes per game and eight points and six rebounds, but this year this position was snatched by rookie Cole Aldridge, which made Kostic unhappy and submitted trades to management several times.

Gilsai Ibaka, selected by the SuperSonics with the 24th pick in the first round in 2008, he is the first NBA player in Congo, 208 cm tall, weighing 106 kg, because of his outstanding defensive ability, he is known as "Uncle Mu No. 2", don't look at Ibaka is only 21 years old this year, but he has a lot of game experience, before stepping into the NBA, Ibaka played in the Congo, France and Spain leagues.

Ibaka is a very smart and good learner, in the past year, he has been improving the weaknesses of his offensive end skills, now the shooting rate is very high, and even throws three-pointers from time to time, Ibaka is very cautious about the choice of offensive timing, if he does not have a complete chance, he will not shoot easily, and the reluctant shot is almost invisible, so Ibaka's shooting rate is very high, last season's 54.3% shooting rate is a good confirmation of this, on the defensive end, Due to his limited height and weight, he defended Gasol one-on-one, and Duncan still couldn't stop the opponent's crushing, but he grasped the defensive timing very well, and often sent blocks to the small ones who burst in, if this momentum continues, it will not be impossible for Ibaka to grow into a star player of 10 million level.
