Thunder Vs. Spurs: Serge Ibaka Is Expected To Play More In Game 2

The Oklahoma City Thunder were unable to figure out the key to beating the San Antonio Spurs in the first game of the Western Conference Finals. Scott Brooks is expected to alter some things for Tuesday night's Game 2, however, as his Thunder attempt to hand the Spurs their first loss in this year's NBA Playoffs.
One of the issues brought up in the opening-game loss was the fact that starting shot blocker Serge Ibaka spent too much time on the bench. While it's difficult to say that he would've given the Thunder the victory on Sunday night, Ibaka is expected to have a bigger role in Game 2
It'll be interesting to see if more minutes for Ibaka translates into less points for the Spurs and, in turn, a Thunder victory.
