Thabo Sefolosha has insisted that the Oklahoma City Thunder can still be confident of progressing in the NBA playoffs, despite losing to the Los Angeles Clippers on Monday night.
A 122-105 victory for the Clippers handed them a 1-0 lead in the Western Conference semi-finals, but Sefolosha believes that the Thunder should remain calm after they came from behind to beat the Memphis Grizzlies in the previous round.
"You know, we've been there before," the 30-year-old told reporters. "You know, it's never easy, so at the same time it's the first to four wins, and we're down one.
"So it's not the end of the world, we've just got to go back and see what we can do for the next game."
Game two of the series takes place in Oklahoma on Wednesday.
