The OKC Blue might have fallen in Mexico City to the Capitanes due to an offensive explosion by former UConn standout and current Capitanes guard Shabazz Napier after the Roxbury native went off for 40 points, but Blue wing Adam Mokoka isn’t looking for something to blame for OKC’s 21-point lead evaporating under the pressure of Napier’s assault.
Not even the altitude, which has been a thorn in the side of visiting teams to the new home arena of the Capitanes, the Blue the latest victims thereof to the tune of a 118-116 loss. “The elevation for sure is hitting us,” he explained, “but we’re not going to make excuses. I feel like they came on really hard in the third quarter — that’s when we had some trouble.”
