Russell Westbrook remains sidelined for Game 5 with an injured right quad, and with the series all tied up, this could very well be the most important game played so far. According to NBA Playoff history, when a series is tied at 2-2, the winner of Game 5 goes on to win the series 82.2% (171 of 208 series) of the time. The numbers are a little closer if you look at the last 2 seasons, with the Game 5 winner of a series tied at 2-2 going on to win the series 7 of 10 times.

The Oklahoma City Thunder has dug an 0-2 hole in the series, and Game 3 is essentially a must win. If the Thunder wants to have any chance at coming back to win the series, their adjustments for Game 3 are going to be the key.
