The Oklahoma City Thunder may just have to get ugly if they hope to make it a series. The Thunder have struggled to corral a San Antonio offence that is clicking on all cylinders during a 20-game winning streak, the longest any NBA team has been able to maintain into the playoffs. Oklahoma City is in an 0-2 hole as the series shifts to the Chesapeake Energy Arena for Game 3 on Thursday night. Maybe -- just maybe -- the Thunder found something that works while trying to rally from a 22-point, third-quarter deficit in Game 2. They toughened up, turned it into a more physical contest and the NBAs best free-throw shooting team had both teams marching to the foul line as the lead shrank to six. The Spurs were able to close it out for a 120-111 victory. "Were a physical team. We have to play that way," Thunder coach Scott Brooks said Wednesday. "If we play free-flowing basketball, we can beat some teams but were not at our best if were not being physical on the defensive end. "Even on offence, were a physical team. Were aggressive, we set great screens, we set up our screens and we attack the basket, we have dribble penetration and were looking for extra shooters. Thats when were at our best." So far, the Spurs have been at their best more than the Thunder, cranking it up for 39 fourth-quarter points in a come-from-behind Game 1 victory and then shooting 63 per cent from the field and 64 per cent from three-point range while building their biggest lead in Game 2. That had Brooks in a rare position, questioning whether his team was playing its hardest and specifically noting that defence on three-point attempts wasnt good enough. "We have to play with maximum effort every possession and the entire possession. If you dont do that, you give them so many open looks because theyre the best passing team in the game," Brooks said. "They dont hesitate. They make the plays for each other and they make them consistently and they make them quickly and on time. With that being said, you can have great defence and they still make some tough shots." The Thunder held a team meeting to regroup and try to find a way to become the 15th team in NBA history to rally back from a 0-2 deficit in a seven-game series.

"Were not down on ourselves," said guard Derek Fisher, a veteran of the Los Angeles Lakers 2004 comeback after losing the first two games to a Spurs team also riding a double-digit win streak. "Were obviously disappointed. We dont like to lose," he said. "But we still feel good about our ability to follow our game plan, do some of the things we need to do, make some adjustments and give ourselves a chance to win Game 3." It starts with duplicating the rugged approach that disrupted the Spurs rhythm in Game 2. It materialized after Brooks had his players foul backup centre Tiago Splitter intentionally to send a poor free-throw shooter to the line. Oklahoma City didnt make up any ground while sending Splitter to the line repeatedly, but the whistles kept sounding afterward and the Thunder showed some fight. "They started to attack, attack, attack -- put your head down and try to draw fouls -- and it worked for them in that fourth quarter," Spurs guard Manu Ginobili said. "And defensively they were everywhere. I dont know if we got a little tired or we kind of stopped playing a little, but they were successful in doing what they wanted in the fourth. We just made a couple of tough shots that gave us some fresh air." Brooks also questioned how much of the comeback to claim credit for, and how much was San Antonio relaxing after building such a commanding lead. "If we dont go down 20 and we have that spurt, were in the lead," Thunder guard James Harden said. "So, we just cant allow a lack of focus." He said there were too many "mini-spurts" where Oklahoma Citys lapses let the lead keep ballooning out of control. No matter what style they try to play, the Thunder already know they cant get by with that lack of mental discipline. "You can talk about Xs and Os and adjustments and rotations and all those things but at the end of the day, sometimes you just have to want it," Fisher said. "How you define that, how you lay that out as a game plan, I dont know. But when you want it bad enough, you figure it out. "We have to want it bad enough come tomorrow night in order to figure it out." ' ' '
