I saw a TikTok the other day that said the Miami Heat incorporated some of the Grizzlies offense from last year.
The same offense that got Taylor Jenkins fired, and honestly it’s working.
I love how Spoelstra is one of the few coaches who is constantly experimenting on style of play

Amazing defensive set from okc caurso helped turner drive. Kick out to nembhard, Shai helps, swing to mautherin, Caruso close out.
Alex Caruso is everywhere already.

It feels like this game could've gotten out of hand if not for Jalen Williams. Absolutely massive start by him.

OKC looks a little lost on defense. The fact they have to be rotating on each pass is going to kill them all night.
Indiana is playing with confidence and is interesting how OKC will answer.

Tom Thibodeau’s firing comes at a time where there’s is plenty coaching options.
Taylor Jenkins, Mike Malone, Mike Budenholzer, plus several assistants who will be in the running.
Nevertheless the Knicks are looking for a ceiling raiser for their HC vacancy.

The NBA has forced the passing of the baton and the Finals are evident of that.
The feared words amongst execs in today's NBA, "the apron" is changing the way the team will be built for years to come.
The OKC Thunder and Indiana Pacers are both below the first apron. The blueprint has been set.

Mikal Bridges back to back plays. lob to Mitch then corner 3.
If NYK wants to win, Mikal needs to continue his strong start.

Huge win for OKC, not only did SGA and JDUB deliver they were able to answer in pivotal moments the Wolves were looking to make a run.
Huge let down by MIN today what a huge performance by NAW and the rest of the bench. Ant and Randle would've made the difference today.

Huge answer by Chet. OKC lead back up to 8, feels like right when MIN is in hands reach they just shot themselves in the foot on offense.
After SGA hit a timely 2 JMAC hit with a moving screen leading to Chet's 3

OKC's defense on both Ant and Randle have been impactful holding them to just 6 points combined so far.
Forcing everyone else to beat them, some good minutes from Jaden McDaniels and NAW been huge keeping them in this game.
30 pts from Wolves bench so far.

Strawther shouldn't play the rest of the game. His performance in game 6 doesn't matter if that's how he's looking today.
