(Sports Network) - The ever-improving Oklahoma City Thunder get back to work on Sunday by hosting a Toronto Raptors team minus star forward Chris Bosh. Indianapolis Colts Gary Brackett Jersey . The Raptors are coming off a tough overtime loss to the Eastern Conferences best team, the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday. LeBron James finished with a game-high 36 points, while Mo Williams hit a pair of threes to begin overtime in that one, keying the Cavs to a 126-118 victory. Andrea Bargnani and Jarrett Jack each had 24 points for the Raptors, who played their fourth consecutive game without Bosh (sprained ankle), who leads the team in scoring (24.5 ppg) and rebounding (11.4 rebounds). Toronto is 2-2 in those contests, having dropped the last two, both at home. It is the first time the Raptors have lost two consecutive home games since November 29-December 1, when they dropped contests to Phoenix and Washington. Bosh is expected to remain on the sidelines tonight. The Thunder got back to their winning ways on Friday when Kevin Durant led seven Thunder players in double figures with 25 points, as Oklahoma City crushed Minnesota, 109-92. Russell Westbrook just missed a triple-double with 18 points, 15 assists and eight rebounds for the Thunder, who avoided dropping three straight on the heels of a nine-game winning streak. "When our defense is good, our offense follows," Westbrook said. "We came out defensive-minded." Serge Ibaka scored 14 points, while Jeff Green had 13 for the victors. The Thunder had won nine straight from January 29-February 21. However, Oklahoma Citys streak came to an end on Tuesday with a loss to Phoenix. Durant had 36 points in that loss, increasing his club-record streak of scoring at least 25 points to 29 games in a row. Hoping to close in on Michael Jordans NBA-record run of 40 games with 25 or more points, Durant instead was limited to 21 in a 95-87 loss to San Antonio on Wednesday. New York Giants Tuck Jersey .

Bob Sheppard, the longtime voice of the New York Yankees, will miss the start of the season while he continues to recover from a bronchial infection. Now in his late 90s, Sheppard became the public-address announcer at the old Yankee Stadium in 1951. He missed last season because of his illness. "I will not be able to be at Yankee Stadium for the series with the Cubs or Opening Day," Sheppard said in a statement Tuesday. "My personal physician advised me to wait until I am ready. I am looking forward to doing games in the new stadium. Premier Sam Bradford Jersey. quot; The Yankees host exhibition games with the Chicago Cubs on Friday night and Saturday. The regular-season home opener is April 16 against Cleveland. His resonant tones have called out names from Joe DiMaggio to Mickey Mantle to Derek Jeter over the years, and Reggie Jackson gave Sheppard the nickname "the voice of God." Sheppard made his debut at Yankee Stadium on April 17, 1951, when New York beat Boston 5-0 on opening day. For the final game at the old park last year, he recorded a greeting to fans and the introduction of the Yankees starting lineup. ' ' '
