The Raptors wild, crazy, and fun 11-game winning is over. This we know.
Victims of another Russell Westbrook “day at the office” triple-double, Toronto fell at home for only the sixth time all season, losing to Oklahoma City 132-125. As spectacular as Westbrook was, Toronto had equal if not more trouble containing Steven Adams, the Thunder’s part-Dothraki centre. Averaging 14 points and 9 rebounds for the season, Adams finished with 25 points and eight boards — five of the offensive variety.
A beast all game, apart from missing a stretch after being kneed in the family jewels by Serge Ibaka, Adams, with Westbrook, was essentially unguardable on one-five screen action.
