The Thunder fell to the Trail Blazers on their home court in game 4, 111-98. In a game that echoed so many of the Thunder’s low points this season, they could not take advantage of both their early defensive energy or Portland’s poor shooting, and found themselves trailing big without much of a blueprint to turn things around. The Thunder now face elimination in Portland, down 1-3 in the series.
If you were to create a carbon copy of this game, you’d swear you saw nearly the exact same thing play out about 20 times during the regular season.
