The Oklahoma City Thunder have hit their toughest stretch of games at the end of the regular season, starting with the Eastern Conference’s best Toronto Raptors. In a playoff atmosphere battle in which two high-octane offenses went back and forth for 48 minutes, the Thunder edged out a huge 132-125 victory over the Raptors on Sunday afternoon, behind Russell Westbrook’s 5th triple-double in a row and 23rd of the season. The victory snapped an 11-game winning streak for the Raptors and extended the Thunder’s current streak to 6.
It was a track meet from the opening tip as both teams came out firing on all cylinders.
