Kyle Lowery left injured in horrible first half
Very late in a 57-38 first half as the Thunders took the Raptors to the cleaners as the Raptors went into OKC to face an embarrassing 1 and 2 record and then Kyle Lowery got his feet tied up with Valanciunas and in the end he went down with right ankle sprain. Lowery left the game and will not return in the second half of a complete blowout and it will be interesting to see if he will be able to play in the second half of a back-to-back in Dallas tomorrow.
The Raptors came into the game and decided to go from beyond the arc as they took 16 threes and only made 4 of them and Andrea Bargnani had 11 points in the half and 5 boards which does not do well for his image of only shown up in lost games to pad his stats. DeMar DeRozan had 6 points and Calderon who will be playing a lot in the second half had 5 points but in the end the Raps need to stop the jumper game and get to the basket and the line as it is easier to score the closer to the basket they are.
Brain Westbrook had 13 points, Ibaka had 8 points, Kevin Durant had 10 points, and K-Mart also had 8 points as they were very well balanced scoring for the Thunder who are extremely good.
Kyle Lowery injury will be scary if it last a long time or is lingering but at least DeRozan is still getting to the basket
