    I believe it was a 10 point lead at start.

    You guys are correct, it was 92-82 at 6:23.

    So to re-do the math, it took them 2 minutes and 6 seconds to cut the lead by 4 points. Still not any better.

    starting the hack showed no trust in the defense, but when it was cut to 6 and they kept going, that showed no trust in their offense. the only reason to keep hacking when only down 6 is to get asik out of the game. he was scaring them on D and they didn't think they could score consistently with him in.

    He had no reason to trust his defense.

    The Hack-a-Turk gamble netted us -4 in points differential at one point,
    which is better than
    the +10 before the hacking started.

    Durant can score so easily against the Rockets its pretty remarkable. He could've easily gotten them closer or at least tied the game. The rest of the team looks so lost though. Durant can't possibly run up the court and score every single play, on top of that he has to guard Harden and help on double teams. They might get through the Rockets but I'm pretty sure Durant's going to be worn out by the 2nd round.
