OKC opens at 3, up to 6.5 and 7 at some places.

Amazingly, down 95-90 with 3:45 to go, they covered without an OT.

Durant was once again otherworldly tonight.

When Kendrick Perkins hit's that kind of shot late in the game, that's a killer.

Durant is playing amazing right now. They will be tough with a healthy Westbrook.

That is actually a shot he never took before a few weeks ago, but he must have been practicing it because he has taken five or six in that time and made 3 of them.

Tough loss for anybody who bet Portland. Blazers were getting 6 from the Thunder, and led 95-90 with 3:45 to play. Thunder closes out the game with a 15-2 run, capped by a pair of Durant 3 pointers in the final 45 seconds.

Brooklyn 8-1 in 2014 now w/the only loss being a SEGABABA after going to 2OT w/Miami. Ball moving so much better without Lopez.

Joe Johnson has really been playing great for the Nets the last few weeks

He's been lights out, shooting with a ton of confidence but making the right passes too. Blatche also is playing really well. Lopez is a good player but he's a ball-stopper on offense and you can't have that on a team with this many scorers.

Helluva win tonight for OKC...Jackson played one hell of a game in the national spotlight.

Bigger loss for the Spurs was Kawhi Leonard suffering a fractured hand. The West becomes even more wide open now.

I think the Thunder has made it clear in the last week that, at the moment, they are the class of the West.

Leonard injury is bad news for the Spurs.

Yeah they've been hit pretty hard, also lost Splitter and Green recently. It's been a rough year for injuries. Thunder lose Westbrook, Grizzlies Gasol, Clippers lose Paul, Suns Bledsoe and the Lakers Kobe for an extended period of time. The Hawks lost Horford, Nets Lopez and the Bulls Rose for the season. I'm sure there are a bunch of others too.

Lakers tank. Get a 1-4 pick. They sign Melo and Kobe is fully healthy. Then they get something legit for Gasol. That team would at least be competitive. Melo is a gunner, he proved it on 35 shots tonight. He might put up 50 sometime again soon. Who else is going to shoot for them Chuck? The Stallion is out, Amare is out. Who is supposed to shoot?

Hold on you say he is a gunner then you say who else is supposed to shoot because all these other guys are out? Which is it?

He isnt going to the Lakers. That is a pipe dream. Kobe is never going to be Kobe again. Gasol is a free agent so they probably wont be getting anything for him and will probably resign him.
