Toronto Raptors vs Oklahoma City Thunder Dec.19/08

Kevin Durant scored 24 points, rookie Russell Westbrook added 19 and the Oklahoma City Thunder snapped an 11-game home losing streak with a 91-83 win against the Toronto Raptors on Friday night. Toronto erased a nine-point fourth-quarter deficit before Durant hit a tiebreaking three-pointer from the left wing with 3:36 to play, and the Thunder’s young core avoided the mistakes down the stretch that have dogged them all season to pick up only their third win. Jeff Green scored the last of his 13 points on an exclamation-point dunk with 33.8 seconds left that stretched the lead to 87-81 and all but cemented the win. Chris Bosh led the Raptors with 22 points and 16 rebounds for his 13th double-double, but he didn’t have enough help after six-time all-star Jermaine O’Neal missed the second half with a sore left shoulder. Orange and blue streamers dropped from the rafters as the crowd stood to cheer in celebration of the team’s first win at home in more than a month, coming on the strength of the team’s best defensive performance of the season. The Thunder held Toronto to 36 per cent shooting, including another rough performance by Bosh, but still made it a nail-biter in the closing minutes. Oklahoma City had been in control since a 12-0 run in the first five minutes until a late charge by the Raptors, who had been 1-12 in games when they trailed entering the fourth quarter. Toronto got within striking distance as the Thunder scored on one of their first seven possessions of

    @flippyfan98 They should really move the Clippers over to Seattle lol. But the Thunder have the best fans ever. They’re all college kids and they know how to make noise.

    YOU KNOW WHAT GO TO HELL YOU FUCKING PRICK!!! David Stern even admitted that letting Vancouver’s team go was the biggest mistake he’s ever made! NO Memphis doesn’t deserve an NBA team have you seen there fucking attendance records? Vancouver loved their team every second they had them so go eat a dick

  20. kingkv says:

    I agree man.

  21. kingkv says:

    Do you want proof that Memphis has such great fans? Just look at footage from ANY of the Memphis Tigers games from the past 5 years. They are SOLD OUT..EVERY SINGLE GAME! The Grizzlies, even though they have talent and will be good, play with NO heart. Thats why the attendance is not as good for them as it is for the Tigers.

  22. DanYanks says:

    From a Lakers fan . The Sonics should’nt had moved. The Sonics had better fans than the thunder. The thunder have the gayest fans in the league. They don’t know anything about basketball. I feel sorry for seattle.

  23. denniseck3 says:

    Shut up. No one likes you.

  24. ptrain191 says:

    If Memphis has such great fans, then why are they at the bottom of the league in attendance? David Stern ignored 40 years of basketball history and left Seattle fans screwed.

    Again, the Zombie Sonics suck, and OKC rednecks don’t deserve a good NBA team
