This game tonight was an important one for the OKC Thunder. They came into this tilt against the Portland Trail Blazers with aspirations of stealing the 3rd seed in the Western Conference. That feat became a lot harder tonight, as the Thunder lost yet again to the rival Blazers.
The game started out horrendous for OKC. After one quarter of play, Portland had doubled the Thunder up with a score of 34-17. Raymond Felton and Jerami Grant then lead a charge that Oklahoma City rode to an unlikely lead late in the 2nd quarter.
