Lost 42 points! The Thunder triggered the law that James Curry dared not disobey, and none of them won the championship if he did this

On May 25, the Thunder was over. The 68-win league team may not win the championship. They will directly contact the most magical winning law of the playoffs. Even the strongest like Zhan Ku dare not disobey.

As the top 1 team in the league with 68 wins, the Thunder lost 42 points directly. Although they are still leading the Western Conference Finals, they have touched an incredible magical law in the NBA, and the possibility of winning the championship later is slim. The Thunder surrendered early in this game. At the end of the third quarter, the entire substitute lineup was replaced. There was no problem with this approach to accumulate energy and maintaining physical fitness for the next game.

But they have a problem, that is, they shouldn't have lost too much when the substitute lineup comes on the court. The Thunder lost a full 42 points in the whole game, and this loss record means that they need to challenge a miracle that no one has done in history, which is to become the final champion if they lose more than 40 points.

There is a record in NBA history that has been officially announced. There have been 30 cases in the playoffs that they lost more than 40 points in a single game. However, all the teams that lost 40 points in a single game have not been able to become the final champion team. As long as you lose so many points, you will not win the championship. This is an ironclad fact.

Because you can lose 40 points in a game, it means that your team is not motivated enough first, and your desire to win may not be that strong. Moreover, a mature team should have this kind of adjustment ability. Losing 40 points may mean that they have not made any adjustments. Seeing the team lose like this, it is unlikely to win the championship after setting this record.

And for this record, there has never been a problem in the first 30 times, that is, as long as you lose like this, you will definitely be out of luck, and the closest one is the closest Warriors. The Golden State Warriors won the championship in 2022, and they lost 39 points in one game when they played against the Grizzlies. You read that right. In that game, the Warriors didn’t dare to lose 40 points without losing 39 points, and then they won the championship. If they really scored more than 40 points, the 22-year championship may not be the Golden State Warriors. This is such a coincidence.

So as the Thunder now touches this record, it will probably be very difficult for them to win the championship this year, because the Thunder lost points and lost a lot in this game, and they really don’t have any ability to adjust. Alexander will not play if he doesn’t give a whistle. It’s a completely different person with a whistle or a whistle.

With whistles, he averaged 35 points per game, but he had 15 free throws per game. If he didn't have whistles, he could only score 14 points. If he gave it to the confrontation, he would not play. Then it was hard to say that this was an MVP. Alexander's score in this game was not even as good as Timberwolves' rookie Terence Xiangnong. This guy just selected this year, but he scored 15 points in the game, which was 1 point more than Alexander.

Look at Edwards on the opposite side, and they scored 30 points for two free throws. The Thunder team really doesn't look like a team with a championship appearance. Moreover, they played in the first three games in the Western Conference Finals, with the smallest score difference of 15 points, and the largest game with a 42 point gap. Their performance in this round of the series really makes people feel that it is not like the performance that the champion team can play, because the champion team usually does not have such big fluctuations. In contrast, perhaps the East Pacers have a greater chance of winning the championship.
