San Antonio annihilated the Thunder 124-92 in Game 1 as LaMarcus Aldridge exploded for 38 points and Kawhi Leonard added 25 points as the two players combined for 28-for-36 from the field. The Spurs scored 43 points in the first quarter and never looked back finishing with a .607 field goal percentage. San Antonio now is 43-1 at home this season and 48-39 ATS overall while Oklahoma City is 25-19 on the road and 40-47-1 ATS overall. Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant were a combined 11-for-34 from the field on Sunday, and their team made just six of 23 three-point attempts. Generally, a team that gets blown out in the NBA Playoffs is a good play the following game, but San Antonio's superiority on its home floor and the fact the Spurs are one the few teams that can match up talent-wise with the Thunder makes another win and cover likely. Also, the last four Thunder games have gone OVER the total as have seven of its last eight road games, and the Thunder is 7-1 OVER after an ATS loss. Play the Spurs and the OVER.
