Owner Real Deal Posted February 9, 2012 Author Owner Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 Kevin Durant has scored 33 points in each of Oklahoma City's last two games in helping the Thunder rally for a pair of victories. The three-time All-Star could be poised for another big outing. Durant looks to lead the Western Conference-best Thunder to a seventh straight win over the Kings on Thursday night at Power Balance Pavilion, one of the two-time scoring champion's favorite arenas. After scoring 13 of his points in the fourth quarter and overtime in Monday's 111-107 victory over Portland, Durant scored 12 in the final period of Tuesday's 119-116 win over Golden State. He made the go-ahead bank shot with 14.2 seconds remaining against the Warriors after putting the finishing touches on Monday's victory with a dunk with 2.9 seconds left. "It's fun," said Durant, who has reached the 30-point mark five times in the last seven contests after having one 30-point game in his previous 14. "This is what you dream about as a kid. Guys want to take those shots and play in those minutes." The Thunder (20-5) haven't needed any late-game heroics from Durant against the Kings. Oklahoma City has won six straight in the series since a 101-98 loss Nov. 10, 2009, with the four meetings last season being decided by an average of 13.8 points. Not surprisingly, Durant - third in the league with 27.3 points per game - has played a big role in the Thunder's success, especially in Sacramento. In five games at Power Balance Pavilion since 2008-09, Durant is averaging 32.8 points, his best at any arena. Durant, however, isn't the only player the Kings need to worry about on the Thunder, one of the league's highest-scoring teams at 101.2 points per game. Russell Westbrook is averaging 27.1 points in his last seven games, while James Harden is averaging 20.3 on 52.1 percent shooting in his last four. Westbrook had 31 points and seven assists Tuesday to help give the Thunder their fourth win in five games.http://www.cbssports.com/nba/gametracker/preview/NBA_20120209_OKC@SAC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChosenOne Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 Iblocka shows his range, then Cousins shows his range, and then Perkins fails miserably to show his. Haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleveland's Finest Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 (edited) I don't get why the Kings wanted JJ Hickson. If he's not going to start, and you already have a young PF with potential in Thompson, why have him? He should be starting for a team right now. Went from averaging 14 and 9 last year to 6 and 6.

Mentch Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 This is a much better game than I was expecting. Kings are only down by 2 heading into the 4th, they've got some good young talent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newman Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 (edited) This is one damn ugly quarter by Westbrook. Edited February 10, 2012 by Newman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AboveLegit Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 Isolation basketball coming to haunt Oklahoma City again.. Kings have really been playing well lately, they've now won 4 of their last 6, and both of those losses were very close games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
