Sometimes, it's just not your day and few things go right. Oklahoma City's NBA team found themselves in that spot on Thursday against the Miami Heat.
Down by double digits almost throughout the contest, OKC suffered a 101-76 defeat to Miami, dropping OKC to 1-3 in Orlando's summer league action. The 25-point spread by Miami is the largest margin of victory for any team this year and also marks the ninth-largest win in the six-year history of the Orlando Pro Summer League.
Michael Beasley, the second overall pick in the 2008 NBA draft, made his presence felt on Thursday, leading the Heat, now 3-1, with 19 points. Four of Miami's five starters finished in double figures, and two others off the bench finished in double figures as well.
OKC's Jeff Green and Russell Westbrook continued their impressive weeks with 19 points each. The duo have been the backbone of OKC's offense in Orlando, accounting for 157 of the team’s 335 points so far this week. Green had hit 20 or more points in OKC's three previous games.
OKC wraps up action in Orlando on Friday with a matchup against the Chicago Bulls and top overall draft pick Derrick Rose.
