As the red lights lit up on the backboard, Chris Paul’s shot fell through the net, logging the last points of the game.
The shot didn’t have a chance to tie the game. Paul knew that when he took it, but he threw up a running 3-pointer anyway. The Thunder lost to the Bucks 121-119 Sunday, battling to the final buzzer.
That kind of consistency had been missing in the Thunder’s previous two contests. OKC had started a pattern, coming out of halftime unprepared to match the opposing team’s energy.
