The Spurs came in as favorites to win this series, but their Big 3 have shown their age as Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, and Manu Ginobili combined for just 17 points on 6/22 from the field in Game. Although he hasn't said anything about this, Duncan has looked slow and old in this series, and could very well play his final game in the NBA if the Spurs don't pull off the victory.
Meanwhile, Russell Westbrook continued his solid play with 35 points, 11 rebounds, nine assists, and two steals on 12/27 shooting. He did have eight turnovers, but was key to the Thunder comeback in the fourth quarter.
Will this be the final game of Tim Duncan's NBA career?
