Game 33: Raptors at Thunder!

Well...easy come, easy go. Raptors held on to the top seed in the East for just over 24 hrs after falling back to second after a bad loss to the Mavericks. They'll be looking to bounce back tonight in OKC against the Thunder!

• CJ Miles returned last night for the Raptors to play, and lose in front of his hometown Dallas crowd
• OKC has a bit of a different look this year. After losing Kevin Durant to Golden State a few years ago the Thunder have swung for the fences. Acquiring Paul George from Indiana and Carmelo Anthony from New York,. In the process they lost some key bench members like Victor Oladipo, Enes Kanter, Doug McDermott and Domantas Sabonis
• Raptors will encounter a familiar face as Patrick Patterson signed with OKC in the offseason. Patterson was a part of that Rudy Gay trade that changed the fortunes for Toronto all those years ago
