Thunder still lacks stability, which does not allow the team to jump into the playoff zone, but the whole struggle is still ahead. Now the team is openly failing, demonstrating a weak level of basketball. Only in the last match did they manage to interrupt a terrible streak of defeats, unexpectedly defeating Boston on the road in a bitter struggle. The team has not won on its site for a long time, having rolled back to the bottom of the standings.
Toronto continues their fight for a place in the playoffs, but so far the Canadian team has been failing. Victories are needed to get into the coveted top ten, but Raptors do not get them very often. For example, Nick Nurse’s players lost to New York (103-120) and Brooklyn (103-116) this week. In the other two games they beat Cleveland (112-96) and the Nets (114-103). Such results, of course, are not enough to accomplish the task, so the “reptiles” take 11th place in the East. It is worth noting that the injury of the leading players influenced Toronto’s game. But now the Raptors infirmary is almost empty. Perhaps they will play much better now.
