Raptors getting rag-dolled right now. 59-42 Thunder with 3:29 to go in half. Once OKC stopped turning it over every other play (nine in 1Q) they’ve been miles better than Raptors. – 8:53 PM

The Thunder’s offense looks so crisp tonight, even in spite of the turnovers. OKC is shooting 24-of-36 (57%) and has built a 17-point lead. – 8:53 PM

Omoruyi was an undrafted free agent out of Oregon. Played at Orangeville Prep with Jamal Murray. He’s got 11 points in nine minutes and plays defense like Lu Dort, except is somehow bigger and more imposing, physically. Sheesh. – 8:50 PM

Thunder up 42-32 with 8:26 to play in 2Q on merit. Look faster, bigger and more engaged. Thunders three Canadians (Dort, SGA, Eugene Omoruyi) are a combined 5-of-5 from deep, all on open looks. – 8:43 PM

A couple days after the Raptors gave up 36 first-quarter points on 70% shooting to the NBA’s 25th ranked offensive team (Houston), they surrender 29 first-quarter points on 69% to the 27th ranked O (OKC). – 8:36 PM

Thunder lead Raptors 29-24 after 1Q. Two teams have combined for 15 turnovers, nine by Thunder who are shooting 10-of-16 to 10-of-25 by Toronto. Lu Dort is top Canadian with 11 pts on three triples. – 8:36 PM

The Raptors continue their effort to be first team to ever lead league in defensive rating while allowing highest opponent EFG%. Raps allowed Thunder to score 29 points despite OKC turning the ball over nine times. That strikes me as bad. Raps trail by five after a quarter. – 8:35 PM

Lu Dort 3-3 from 3.
All of them open catch and shoot looks from the corner, the spot where he’s been a really good shooter.
He’s much better than the 20% 3 point shooter he’s been this season. It’s gonna go up. – 8:25 PM

I asked Raptors coach & 🇨🇦men’s national team coach Nick Nurse about SGA & he had plenty of great things to say about him as a 🇨🇦 player & member of the Thunder, but has he ever imagined Shai as a Raptor? “What is it?” Nurse said, “Thou shalt not covet another team’s player?” 😂 pic.twitter.com/GqGUQu2HP7 – 7:20 PM
