OKLAHOMA CITY -- It was supposed to be the kind of night that could jumpstart the Oklahoma City Thunder. For a moment, it even appeared poetic.
On a night where the organization retired the jersey of Nick Collison, a prototypical glue guy role player known for his charge-taking and backdoor bounce passing, the Thunder roared back in the fourth quarter to tie the Toronto Raptors on a streaking Russell Westbrook layup with 4.8 seconds left. The Raptors cleared out for Pascal Siakam on their final possession. He drove hard at the basket, but Dennis Schroder stepped in and took a charge.
