Sports Scene bounces along to the NBA where the Toronto Raptors, would look to extend their 11-game win streak as they hosted Oklahoma City. The Thunder and Russell Westbrook were also on a hot streak, as the reigning MVP had registered a triple-double in four straight games.

Opening Q, and Russ finds Steven Adams cutting to the lane. One of his 14 assists on the night. OKC up 4.

The Dinos go in front, and extend the lead to seven as Lucas Nogeira gets to the cup for the And1 in the second period.

But the Thunder go on a spurt right before half-time, and reclaim the lead as Paul George finds the range. He had 22.

The T-dot do go back in front, thanks to a two-man game between DeMar DeRozan and Jonas Valanciunas, the easy bucket gives the hosts a 3-point edge.

At the other end, Carmelo Anthony hits the jumper -- he had 15 as OKC lead by a pair. Melo passing Reggie Miller for 19th on the all-time scoring list.

Head to the fourth, and things are tight, Kyle Lowry hitting the step back three -- he finishes with 22 -- as the Raps lead by 1.

Westbrook, though, starts to take over for the Thunder -- matching that triple with one of his own, putting his team in front. He had 37, to go with 14 dimes, and 13 boards.

And the MVP gets the reverse to fall, as OKC grab a 4-point lead late in the fourth.

Toronto clawback, and are within a bucket in the final minute, DeRozan gets into the lane, and finds Delon Wright for the bucket -- and we are tied at 125.

But Westbrook would be the difference, scoring 10 straight points at one juncture late, as he puts the Thunder in front again, and OKC snap the Raptors' 11-game win streak, claiming a 321-125 victory.

Elsewhere, Portland ran their winstreak to 13 games, by dumping the L-A Clippers. Anthony Davis scored 34 points as New Orleans topped Boston 108-89. James Harden scored 34 points as the NBA's best team Houston held off Minnesota 129-120.
