The Oklahoma City Thunder is storming back from a two-game deficit against the San Antonio Spurs in the NBA playoffs and Lil Wayne is missing out on the action. The rap star says he was denied entry to the arena in Oklahoma City to witness the Thunder’s comeback on Thursday night. But there may be good reason for why the rapper was kept out of bounds. A rep for the Thunder tells TMZ Wayne simply did not have a ticket to get into the sold-out game. The rep says the rapper’s people called their people about courtside tickets and they told Wayne’s camp they were “completely sold out.” That apparently wasn’t answer enough for Wayne who took to Twitter to vent his disappointment. He later tweeted, “Going to the Thunder game tonight but was denied by the team to be in their arena. Wow.”

The Thunder bounced back to end the Spurs’ 20-game winning streak with a 102-82 victory over the San Antonio team in Game Three Thursday night. The Spurs still hold a 2-1 lead in the best of seven series.
