On Friday afternoon in Tacoma, the over-the-hill gang on the Trib's copy desk was abuzz about the 52-point tour de force Portland's Brandon Roy laid on the Phoenix Suns the night before.
The question arose as to whether Roy's 52 pickup was the all-time NBA high for a Seattle-bred player. Suffice it to say there was a good deal of head-scratching and that not one of us quick-witted sports savants could think of any performance that might rival Roy's.
As if on cue, former Rainier Beach High star Jamal Crawford went for 50 the very next night in Golden State's victory at Charlotte.
The Thunder's debut run in Oklahoma City has been, to put it charitably, difficult.
How difficult?
Victories have been such unusual phenomena that at least one or two hoops-loving denizens of Oklahoma City chose to interpret Friday's 91-83 victory over the Toronto Raptors as a miraculous event.
Yes, the headline introducing the Oklahoman's story on the Thunder's victory over the Raptors was, "Yes, miracles do happen."
How does this happen?
