Stopping the champs: a West Finals preview with OKC's Billy Donovan - a podcast by USA TODAY

As his team moves on to the Western Conference finals, Oklahoma City Thunder coach Billy Donovan has matched wits with veteran coaches Rick Carlisle in Dallas and Gregg Popovich in San Antonio, and won. He talks about going up against those guys and the adjustments his team made with USA TODAY’s Sam Amick. They also look ahead to the conference finals series against the defending champion Golden State Warriors and what he thinks about his guys, led by Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook, as that series gets started. Amick and USA TODAY’s Kevin Spain set up the series with the Warriors and how Golden State will adjust and counter what the Thunder might throw at them.
