At a critical point in the season where every game is essentially a must-win, the Oklahoma City Thunder went north and handled its business today against the Toronto Raptors. It was a back-and-forth affair that was decided in the final minute, but Russell Westbrook & Co. ultimately escaped with a 132-125 victory.
The Thunder offense was clicking from the jump, scoring 40 points in the first quarter and building a six-point lead after 12 minutes of play. The Raptors opened the second on a 20-4 run and took a 10-point lead at the midway point of the frame, but the Thunder was able to bounce back.
