What a coincidence, you like horse racing too?

The team shot a combined 29.4% from three, and even Chen Xi went just 3-for-7.

With efficiency like that, winning in this era was obviously a pipe dream.

After all, Haliburton and Hield alone had made enough threes for the Kings to match the entire Thunder team...

In the end, the Thunder still lost the game 115–109, bringing their winning streak to an unfortunate end.

Fortunately, the loss hadn't had much of an impact on the Thunder.

It was just a regular-season game, after all.

No big deal~~

They'd just win the next one~~

Then... they lost the next game too.

November 14.

The Thunder continued their homestand, welcoming the visiting Miami Heat.

Without a doubt, it was another clash between two strong teams.

Unfortunately, the Thunder ultimately fell to the Heat, 130–128.

With three players surrounding Chen Xi, Westbrook decided to pass the ball to Davis, who was relatively open.

In theory, it was the right choice. It was just a shame that Anthony Davis, fresh off his return and coming off a 25-point, 14-rebound performance, missed the shot that could have tied the game in the final moments.

And so, when time ran out, the Thunder were left to swallow the bitter pill of a second straight loss.

That night, the Heat once again showed the explosive power that made them the Eastern Conference's disruptors.

Their elite team defense, efficient zone rotations, excellent tactical movement, and Kawhi Leonard's outstanding performance from end to end.

Leonard was unquestionably the biggest reason Miami won tonight.

Not only did he put up an all-around stat line of 38 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals, and 1 block on offense, but after switching onto Chen Xi, he also held his direct matchup to "just" 41 points, 6 rebounds, and 6 assists.
