Coach reacst to Oklahoma City Thunder's 108-102 road win over the Golden State Warriors in game one of their Western Conference final on Monday (16th May).

SOUNDBITE (English) Billy Donovan, Oklahoma City Thunder coach:

"I thought it was a story of two halves for us. I thought the turnovers in the first half really hurt us. They really punished us in transition off our turnovers. We missed six free throws and even our transition besides the turnovers was a difficult problem for us. So I thought in the second half we did a much better job, we took better care of the basketball which enabled us to get back in transition and I think probably play better defence. So it's one game and we'll have to take a look at the film and try to figure out ways we can get better and improve and try to come back and play better on Wednesday."

SOUNDBITE (English) Billy Donovan, Oklahoma City Thunder coach:

(On Russell Westbrook)

"Russell obviously in the first half didn't shoot the ball particularly well, had some turnovers. But the belief, the competitiveness, the ability to come back with resolve and continue to battle and fight. I mean he played an exceptional second half in every facet. He scored for us, he created opportunities for other guys. He played very very well."
