A Barba block delivers the decisive Game-7 to Houston with the Thunder: semifinal with the Lakers starting Friday. Blue stops at 4 points, but his team was very close to success
James Harden can win a game in a thousand ways to win: an impossible triple from him, an iron lunge. For this game-7 with the Rockets’ future at stake, he chose the least expected: a block. A decisive defensive play on the most unexpected opponent, the unleashed Luguentz Dort, that seals the 104-102 that sends Houston to the challenge with the Lakers in the conference semifinal (game-1 Friday) and the Thunder at home, out of the bubble and towards the ‘off season. “I played m … in attack – Barba admits frankly, 17 points and 4/15 shots -. However, my teammates have always trusted me, so I had to find a way to reward them by doing something on defense. And i did it “. Houston celebrates and enjoys the solitude of the Great Floridian, the Disney World hotel where tomorrow it will be the only team. Oklahoma City, who shared the same hotel, is retiring with a thousand regrets (including Danilo Gallinari, who still can’t make it through the first round of the playoffs), because this Game 7 could have won him.
