Oklahoma City Thunder guard Dion Waiters told reporters he "stepped all the way back" for his inbounds pass with 9.3 seconds left in OKC's 95-91 Game 5 victory over the San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday. Waiters' inbounding was a huge part of the Game 2 fiasco between the teams, with the Syracuse product elbowing Manu Ginobili in the chest as he tried to pass the ball, and not being whistled for it.

The Thunder didn't escape controversy in Game 5 either, though, as Russell Westbrook was clearly fouled intentionally by Kawhi Leonard after taking the pass from Waiters, to no avail.
