Inside Chesapeake Energy Arena was a memorable place to be on Wednesday night. Russell Westbrook propelled his OKC Thunder to an unimaginable victory.
Coming into Game 5 the OKC Thunder trailed the Utah Jazz 3-1 in their first round playoff series. Everyone knew what needed to be done and how tall the proverbial mountain would be to climb.
The Thunder trailed the Jazz by five, 34-25 after the first quarter, easy to overcome. By halftime, the deficit had ballooned to 15 with the score 56-41. Things were looking bleak in OKC, after a stellar halftime performance by Peter Rabbit, (a talented bucket drummer) it was now or never for the OKC Thunder.
