There are schedule losses for teams, but there are also schedule losses for fans — namely, those games where both teams are playing on the second end of a back-to-back. They’re usually filled with poor shooting, a plethora of turnovers, and lackadaisical defense.
Last night was all of that — but was still a highly-entertaining, back-and-forth affair featuring two stellar backcourts trading punches.
Unfortunately for the Toronto Raptors, the Oklahoma City Thunder came out on top.
The Raptors took a one-point lead with 54 seconds left, and were a stop or two away from victory.
