Thunder's defense, rebounding uncharacteristically off in 116-98 loss to Wizards

Midway through the first quarter Sunday, Steven Adams was bent over laughing after he flubbed an uncontested defensive rebound off his hands and out of bounds. At the time it was funny, but by game's end, the Thunder had a real issue.

By midway through the fourth quarter, former Thunder Jeff Green swished a 3-pointer to expand the Wizards' lead to 20. It came after two offensive rebounds, each board sucking the life out of the Thunder and Chesapeake Energy Arena in a 116-98 loss.

The most stunning part of the Thunder's biggest margin of defeat of the season?
