The Thunder’s play in recent weeks has been marked by miscommunication and unforced errors, which happened again Sunday in a 112-106 loss to the Toronto Raptors.
The first quarter against the Raptors seemed to buck that trend. Oklahoma City was playing smart, decisive basketball and the Raptors struggled to keep pace with the Thunder during the initial stanza of the game.
However, Toronto diligently cut into the deficit and put themselves in a pole position to win the game late.
The Thunder’s offense stagnated in the last five minutes of the game, and the Raptors were able to eke a huge win in the lottery race.
