What Had Happened Was: 11/10/16 Oh, you don’t know? We got you.
GAME. BLOUSES.
DeMar DeRozan continued his scorching of the Earth with a 37-point performance to lead his Toronto Raptors past the Oklahoma City Thunder, 112-102, on Wednesday. Toronto has now won four of its last five games and handed the league-leading Thunder their first loss at home.
Thunder guard Russell Westbrook was the game’s second-leading scorer with 36 points, seven boards and seven assists, but turned the ball over eight times. Westbrook did have this emphatic block of opposing guard Corey Joseph, though, which you’ll definitely see in the highlights.

In the final quarter, the Thunder rallied using a 9-1 run to come within five. The team got the deficit to as little as four, before the Raptors ultimately put the game out of reach — creating a 10-point cushion with 3:32 left to seal the victory. In the process of doing so, DeRozan did something only two other players had done in the last 35 years:

That’s right, DeRozan is the NBA’s leading scorer and finished 13 of 22 from the field and made 11 of 15 shots from the free throw line. He was so good that a fan wanted nothing more than for him to return to our neighborhood in the north.
