(I'm back to post the results... and my sheer eye-test fooled me a bit)
That was a nice, resounding, never-in-doubt W!
(Almost) all of us won solid, medium-range, points (from 40 to 55).
Of all
17 predictors, only @
alonshin tried "betting against the house",
predicting a loss, and suffered a loss of his own overall podium place...

(also ending his 7-game streak of predicting the correct winner team)
Overall ranking:
The order and spacing at the top of the list were not changed much
(Apart from the aformentioned @
alonshin ousting from 3rd place)
@
km23 is the one who took advantage of that, and recuptured #3 spot.
Daily leaders:
The daily lead was shared by @
bubulina, the newcomer (for the 1st time),
and @
gil renard, the game leader and a consistent vet (for the 2nd time).
@
bubulina got it being the closest to the actual point margin (17<=>15),
whereas @
gil renard predicted a close game, but nailed OKC score (101).
Tonight's 3rd was yours truly, who picked some points in each measure.
A quick drill-down to the detailed points achieved by the 3 daily leaders:
