It had a Total Audience Delivery (some kind of industry measurement, I’m sure) of 9.2 million people. And it peaked at 12 million viewers in the second overtime. I’d say the NBA made a good decision by partnering with NBC and having more over-the-air games televised.We’re tiedThunder clap back to even the seriesThe playoffs are all about adjustments from game to game. The losing team will try to correct what just happened. The winning team will try to anticipate and counteract what the losing team might do.In Game 2 of the Spurs-Thunder series, Oklahoma City put Isaiah Hartenstein on Victor Wembanyama for some more physicality and to turn up the pressure on the perimeter players. It resulted in a 122-113 victory that evened the series. (And thank goodness from an OKC perspective; coming back from down 0-2 when headed to San Antonio was going to be less an uphill battle and more like that scene in “The Dark Knight Rises” with everybody trying to escape up that pit.)Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was the guy we’re used to seeing. He was cold-blooded, calculated and efficient in how he attacked the Spurs’ defense. After an inefficient Game 1, he had 30 points on 12-of-24 from the field and 6-of-6 from the line to go with nine assists, four rebounds and just one turnover. Victor Wembanyama was obsessed with the MVP ceremony in Game 1 and used it as motivation. In Game 2, SGA leaned into the calm and steadiness that brought him his second straight MVP.Hartenstein’s physicality was enough to make Wemby seem much more pedestrian. At least by extraterrestrial standards. Wembanyama was held to 21 points, 17 rebounds, six assists and four blocks. He also had four turnovers.It’s unreal that this feels like you held a player in check. But that’s how good Wemby was in Game 1 and in the previous series against the Timberwolves. And, yes, his 21-17-6-4 was just the 14th time that’s happened in a playoff game. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Ralph Sampson, Dan Roundfield, Hakeem Olajuwon, Shaquille O’Neal, Patrick Ewing, Tim Duncan (five times!), Pau Gasol and Jayson Tatum are the other players to do it.Let’s go over the other big takeaways from this game:
