Here are 10 takeaways from the Toronto Raptors’ 130-121 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder.
One — Exhilarating: The Raptors played their best half of basketball in over a month to create a 30-point advantage, yet that lead still wasn’t safe. Oklahoma City stormed back with four unanswered threes to close the first half, and kept the pressure on the Raptors right until the very end. Naturally, the progression of the game does raise questions about the Raptors’ ability to hold a lead — especially following recent losses to Portland and San Antonio — but credit where credit is due.
