Thunder Ties Series with Mavericks 1-1

Oklahoma City Thunder wins game 2, 106-100. Durant (24 pts) and Harden (23 pts) were the leading scorers. The benched stepped up and collectively found ways to press frequent 3pt shooters on the Mavericks team. Surprisingly starter point guard, Russell Westbrook was benched the fourth quarter and Maynor played as back up. Some say this may or may not have been a great coaching decision. Coach Scott Brooks explains the decision saying that Maynor was playing well and didn't want to complicate the rhythm of the game. This explanation may be sugar coated. Hopefully Westbrook's questionable bench time will not effect him mentally going into Game 3. Here's footage from tonight's game. http://www.nba.com/playoffs/2011/westseries7/index.html?ls=st&g=2&t=gs
