The Thunder take on the Raptors in the second of a home-and-home. Now losers of 4 straight and for a spell descending into the dregs of the playoff seedings, OKC bounced back by doing nothing at all, and now face an opportunity to exact revenge on the Raptors, who beat them at home in OT.

The Thunder will look for a better start. And a better middle. And maybe the same kind of finish. But Toronto is on a roll and 30 games over .500, heading toward a 60+ win season.

The preview tonight is much as the last one, but the Thunder have miles to go to right themselves before the season ends.

Can they start tonight?
