With Poise and Power, Thunder Rally in Opener

OKLAHOMA CITY — It took patience to endure the 23-win season, the four straight lottery appearances, the
long slog through a Western Conference populated with superstars and dynasties.
If they learned nothing else these last few years, the Oklahoma City Thunder learned to withstand, to wait, to
bide their time and keep pushing until their moment arrived.


Patience was the Thunder’s most valued acquired trait Tuesday night when they made their finals debut.
They fell behind by 13 points to the mighty Miami Heat, but they never lost their poise and remembered
in the end where to get the ball.
Kevin Durant, the three-time scoring champion, seized control in the critical moments, scoring 17 points
in the fourth quarter to lead the Thunder to a 105-94 victory in Game 1.
