The Toronto Raptors and the OKC Thunder were like a pair of prize fighters who had forgotten how to cover their faces, or in the hoops context, play defense. Basket piled on basket all game (25 lead changes and 20 ties!), until the final minute, when all H-E double hockey sticks broke out.
By the time the smoke cleared, a 125-125 tie had devolved into a 7-point Thunder lead, with 3 of those points scored via technical fouls. Kyle Lowry, who had fouled out earlier in Q4, was joined on the sidelines (actually, the dressing room) by DeMar DeRozan, Serge Ibaka and even coach Dwane Casey.
