Both went seven games, but Thunder played physical Memphis, so LA should be less worn down even though they are not technically more rested.

Scott Brooks says rest is important for this quick turnaround and Kevin Durant talks about the toughest series we have been through.

OKC lucked out that Zach Randolph was suspended for Game 7 or they would not even be here perhaps. Golden State did not wear down Clippers quite as much with more of a finesse style.

The Clippers came back to win 13 times this season after trailing by double digits, including nine times since Jan. 1, 2014. They came back from 12 points down in the second quarter of Game 7 to beat the Warriors. In a game in which both teams may be tired, the fact the Clippers are such good finishers is very important.
