Out to Dominate
Even as two Eastern Conference first round series have seventh games on Sunday, the second round of the NBA Playoffs began with the San Antonio Spurs hosting the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Spurs made quick work of the Memphis Grizzlies, sweeping their first round series, while the Thunder despite some struggles managed to get past the Dallas Mavericks in five games. This series is the most anticipated lf the second round, with the two teams spltting four games in the regular season. The opener however, failed to live up to expectations as the Spurs toyed with the Thunder, winning 124-92. San Antonio took control of the game right from the start, outscoring OKC 43-20 in the first quarter. The Spurs would go on to build a 43 point lead and rested their starters in the fourth quarter as they cruised the rest of the way. Leading the way for the Spurs was LaMarcus Aldridge who netted a game high 38 points.
