Dan Beyer: "They had it in their mind that they're saving that timeout. The timeout is not used as a trump card, the timeout is a get out of jail free card. It's everywhere. At the end of an NFL game, save your timeouts, because if you're losing, you can force a punt, call a timeout, no time runs off the clock and maybe you have a last chance. Timeouts aren't called to win a game, they are called to save you from losing a game. I felt last night that it cost Oklahoma City because of the explanation Mark Daigneault gave last night."

Dan breaks down how the Thunder and Head Coach Mark Daigneault shot themselves in the foot by using up a timeout to attempt an unsuccessful challenge in the final moments of the game instead of using it to put themselves in a better position on the final shot.
