A 22-pt 3Q lead isn’t enough for Raptors who fall to 135-127 to OKC in 2OT. RJ with 23/7/4 for Raps. SGA with 23/9 and career-high tying 14 assists. Montreal’s Lu Dort was great on both ends, finishes with 22/7/4. Raps fall to 17-32. Thunder improve to 35-15. Raps in NO Monday. – 9:48 PM

SGA is so damn good at reading the D & making the right play/pass out of double coverage. Raptors did a good job rotating out to shooters in the 1st half, and were fortunate with Thunder missing some good looks. Less so in Q3. OKC went 6-for-15 from 3, cut Raps lead from 23 to 6 – 8:44 PM
