There will always be issues with the officiating when you're playing against a team that thrives on baiting the refs like the SGA led Thunder. Being down 5/6 of our best players and still forcing the game into overtime was very impressive. Props to Tolu and all the other guys who've been staying ready for games like this!
Considering last year we had to have the coach crash out because the absolutely horrendous calls (they called a tech on stew when the guy slipped on his own teammate and then ejected cade because they didn't know how to set up for a ft) this was a little better.
We don't make excuses around here, they had a chance to win the entire game despite SGA going for 47, not having Cade or JD and the refs being on the payroll. A 4 point loss on the road against the defending champs and defending MVP is definitely something to build on. Now it's a quick turnaround for Toronto

Hell of a game, Indeed. They played so well but couldn't hit free throws. That's why they lost.
The look on SGA's face when the ref finally called out his BS pushing off was priceless!
