OUTCOME
CONFIRMED TRUESGA had 7 turnovers in Game 1 (the game referenced by the prediction), but in the remaining three games of the Thunder's sweep, he did not repeat that total. In Game 3 he had just 2 turnovers, and in Game 4 he scored 35 points with 8 assists with no notable turnover issues reported. The Lakers were swept 4-0, and turnovers were overwhelmingly a Lakers problem throughout the series, not an SGA one.
