What started out as an “easy win” game against the struggling Thunder, turned out the be a possible nightmare.
“Tracy McGrady tweaked his left knee – the one that had off-season surgery – early in the third quarter and dragged his leg over to the bench, where he sat for the rest of the night. Yao hurt his left foot – the one that had the broken bone last season – in the fourth quarter and took a seat with T-Mac. Artest went crashing into the row of cameras beyond the baseline and rolled his right ankle in the final minute. It turned what should have been a walkover win against the lowly Thunder into a harrowing experience.”
