Grades: OKC Thunder lose Game 5, and series in heartbreaking fashion

There are no words for this one.

The OKC Thunder played their best game of the entire series. They took a 15 point lead in the 4th quarter, only to watch it slip away in the most painful of ways. Damian Lillard, who scorched the Earth all night, hit a back-breaking and series clinching, 3-pointer as time expired to give Portland a 118-115 win.

This scribe is simply heartbroken for this team because they played their hearts out. Unfortunately for the OKC Thunder, the Blazers were the better team in this series. And by team, I mean that they had Damian Lillard and the Thunder did not.
