NBA: Oklahoma Defeats Portland in the Only Game of the Day – Watch Highlights
After a packed Saturday schedule with almost every NBA team in action, last night featured just one regular-season game, as the Portland Trail Blazers hosted the Western Conference leaders, the Oklahoma City Thunder.
The home team put up a strong fight against the favorites, finishing the first quarter level at 27-27. However, Oklahoma gradually pulled away, extending their lead to as much as 15 points at times.
