The Thunder then gave up a 19-foot jumper to rookie Stephen Curry. Oklahoma City turned it over off an inbounds play on the next possession. Warriors forward Ronnie Turiaf then sliced his way to the rim for a layup. The Thunder turned it over yet again on the ensuing inbounds play. Curry proceeded to push the Warriors’ lead to 116-111 by splitting a pair of foul shots with 27.7 seconds remaining. Uncle第四節1:11時獲得了罰球機會，但他兩球都落空，失去了超前的機會，而Stephen Curry立刻砍進一顆二分球，接下來Thabo發球失誤，Ronny Turiaf趁機上籃得分。Thabo發 球再次失誤，只好犯規，Curry兩罰中一，讓比分來到了116-111，時間也只剩27.7秒。 The loss dropped the Thunder to the eighth seed, technically tied with Portland and San Antonio, but OKC is down on tiebreakers with both teams. 這場要是輸球，雷霆會掉到第八種子。雖然雷霆馬刺拓荒者戰績相同，但對戰成績雷霆是落 後的。 A win tonight at Portland would put the Thunder one game ahead of the Blazers with one left to play for both teams. And the Thunder would win the tiebreaker over Portland based on owning a better division record. 拓荒者今天擊敗了湖人，雷霆比賽前，兩隊勝差只剩1場。(如果這場贏球)雷霆必須要擊敗 拓荒者，跟拓荒者的對戰成績才能扳平。 San Antonio wins against Minnesota, the Spurs also clinch at least the seventh seed and automatically drop the Thunder to eighth, assuring a first-round matchup with the defending champion Los Angeles Lakers. 但雷霆今天的輸球，讓拓荒者至少可以站穩老七，如果馬刺也打敗灰狼，他們也可以站上老 七，雷霆會被擠到老八去，季後賽第一輪將對上去年的總冠軍湖人。 When asked if Sunday’s loss served as a wake-up call, Kevin Durant responded, "You could say that.” 當記者問KD這場敗績是否打醒了雷霆，KD表示：「可以這麼說。」 "Our fate is in our hands,” Durant said. "We’ve got to finish out strong.” 「命運掌握在自己的手裡，我們必須更為強硬。」 Durant finished with a game-high 40 points, essentially assuring he will win this year’s scoring title. But his potential game-tying 3-pointer from the top of the key hit the back of the rim and bounced away harmlessly as time expired. KD今晚貢獻了全場最高的40分，得分王是越來越穩了。但他最後那顆試圖扳平的三分球並沒 有成功，只能看著比賽時間終了。 -- 哲學的義務，是去除因誤解而生的幻想。 --
