Even though Kevin Durant slowly fell into a struggle on the offensive end, and even though Westbrook was still "divine with one hand, monstrous with the other"...
Everyone's face showed determination not to give up, not to abandon.
Including James Harden, who had a "fear of Artest syndrome" in the first two games, this game was much more positive than the previous two.

"The Thunder Team tried hard enough, but they still lost. The reason is simple; this team's ceiling hasn't reached championship level!" Barkley acknowledged the Thunder Team's fighting spirit tonight.
But some things can't be achieved by effort alone.
Especially in the competitive sports industry, it's always about strength.
After the game, Brooks also said: "I'm proud of the energy these Thunder Team guys brought tonight! We fought until the last moment!"
However, reporters noticed that after this game, Brooks didn't say anything related to the next game.
