Thabo Sefolosha swats Manu Ginobili's shot to ignite a fastbreak, with Derek Fisher swinging the ball to James Harden, who finds Sefolosha with a skip pass for one of his four triples on May 31, 2012, in Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals. The first Swiss-born player in NBA history had spent years as Oklahoma City's defensive stopper, rarely asked to do much offensively, but his career playoff-best 19 points and six steals dismantled San Antonio's 20-game winning streak in a 102-82 rout. Sefolosha's breakout set the tone as the Thunder rattled off four consecutive victories to clinch their first franchise trip to the NBA Finals.
