The absence of Russell Westbrook, this time because of a knee injury suffered during the game, just makes Kevin Durant better, as he takes his game to another level in order to make sure the Oklahoma City Thunder keep moving in the same direction, this time dramatically beating the Toronto Raptors 119-118.
