There were certain things that were not supposed to happen anymore.
Not with this team. Not after three years of losing and building up for draft picks. Not after supposedly turning the corner and being firmly (and still firmly) in the playoff discussion.
Missing shots late in a game? Sure, that is growth. It happens. A turnover in a tight spot? Same. Team needs experience and eventually they will grow and learn.
Celebrating after hitting what seemed to be a game-clinching shot? That lesson was learned back in October after Russell Westbrook drained a shot from near half court and the Oklahoma City Thunder won in double overtime.
