Oklahoma City had trouble closing out games in the regular season. Now it's the Spurs that have wilted in the fourth quarter the last two games, resulting in an elimination game tonight. San Antonio got almost no production from its bench and shot 40.2 percent overall on Tuesday with Kawhi Leonard scoring 26 points. However, the rest of the team was just 34.8 percent from the field. Russell Westbrook finished with 35 points, 11 rebounds and nine assists and Kevin Durant added 23 points for the Thunder. Still, the Spurs had a six-point lead with four minutes remaining before the Thunder's late run. San Antonio has gone UNDER the total its last four games after a loss and 12 of its last 15 meetings in Oklahoma City. The Thunder has gone UNDER five of its last seven after an ATS win. Look for San Antonio to bounce back in a must-win situation, so play the Spurs and take the UNDER.
