TORONTO – The second half of the Thunder’s 116-109 win over the Raptors on Friday provided a preview of what a shortened rotation could look like for the Thunder in the postseason.
Aside from the 33 seconds Thunder wing Abdel Nader played after the intermission, OKC went to a seven-man rotation, with Markieff Morris playing backup center.
The Thunder began the game with center Nerlens Noel and Morris playing together, but Thunder coach Billy Donovan said he planned to play just one of the two as the game progressed.
