Cray's recap:
Game: annoying. Nonetheless, mood: Hartensigh of relief.
It was ugly, but the Thunder won by double digits again, and the Isaiah Hartenstein minutes (+16) were mostly pretty beautiful. Oklahoma City led for most of the game, but was struggling to put Portland away with 4:47 left in the fourth quarter. That's when this happened. IHart broke up an alley-oop one one end and ran the floor to finish an oop on the other.
Those were points 4 & 5 in a two-man show to put the game out of reach at 99-89: Jalen Williams (30 pts, 7 rbs, 8 ast, 4 stocks) and Hartenstein (13/14/3*/4) went on a 12-3 scoring run for those heartening two minutes and twenty three seconds of winning time against the Blazers.
