The Oklahoma City Thunder’s (38-21) latest comeback fell just short on Saturday night at Chesapeake Energy Arena, losing by a final score of 116-119 to the Sacramento Kings (31-28). Coming off a double-overtime classic against the Jazz on Friday, the Thunder put forth an admirable effort on short rest as Paul George’s three-point attempt to send the game into overtime on the final possession didn’t drop. Russell Westbrook recorded his third straight game with more than 40 points, leading the Thunder with 41 points and 10 rebounds on 15-of-30 shooting. Buddy Hield reigned supreme for the visiting Kings, scoring 34 points in a masterful performance in the state he used to call home.
