Game 1: OKC Thunder fails to compete with Portland three-point snipers

You ever had one of those days where everything you do is just off? OKC Thunder can relate.

The Thunder ended the half shooting 35.4 percent in the field compared to a startling 70 percent perimeter performance from Portland in the first quarter

As the seconds ticked away OKC Thunder showed a little bit of life, inching back within 6 points despite a brief 19-point Portland lead making it 54-48 at intermission.

Just before the buzzer sounded Westbrook was tagged with a controversial offensive foul, further solidifying the awful luck clouding OKC.

Despite battling even more offensive foul calls, OKC was only down seven points to start the final chapter of the horror story of a series-opener.
