So very close.  The Thunder have managed some excellent quarters of late, only to fall in the waning minutes.  Both the Hawks and Pacers games felt like they were ours to lose, and we did, but not without some positives.  Robert Swift, on the Thunderdome floor for the first time against the Hawks, had an immediate impact with a blocked shot, three defensive rebounds, several timely picks, and a clutch score as time expired in the third.  This trend continued into the Pacers game the next night. The Thunder seem to be struggling to establish an inside game lately.  If this is in part to blame for the scoring droughts, then escalating contributions from Swift could be a quick answer.  He may have his work cut out for him getting into playing shape, though.  Swift seemed winded, spent, and slowed after a few minutes in the game.  But his effect on the Thunder momentum can’t be denied.
