What a Game!

What a game! Russell Westbrook and James Harden each scored 24 points, Kevin Durant added 20 and the Oklahoma City Thunder beat the Detroit Pistons 99-79 for their fourth straight blowout win at home. The Thunder built up a 30-point lead midway through the second quarter and Detroit got no closer than 17 after the opening period. Brandon Knight led Detroit with 13 points. Rodney Stuckey and Greg Monroe added 12 apiece. Stuckey seemed to re-aggrivate a groin injury in the second half, and will be re-evaluated on Tuesday.

Brandon Knight, Jonas Jerebko and Damien Wilkins had a 3-on-1 in transition against Thabo Sefolosha that ended when Sefolosha blocked Jerebko's shot to keep the Thunder lead at 60-33 going into halftime.

Oklahoma City's starters had sat out all of the fourth quarter in the previous three games at Chesapeake Energy Arena and that streak was only stopped because Serge Ibaka replaced an injured Nick Collison with the rest of the backups for the first 2 minutes of the fourth quarter. Collison sprained his left ankle and didn't play after halftime.

Frank said the Pistons got deflated after Oklahoma City's early run and needed to "tie those shoes up tighter and take a stand." "I just know we have a whole lot more to give and a whole lot more talent in that locker room to have performances like these," Frank said. "We just can't accept it."
