Oklahoma City Thunder guard Kevin Durant is now in his third year and has solidified himself as one of the top scorers in the NBA.  Durant, who averaged 20.3 points per game as a rookie and 25.3 last season, already has a 40 point game under his belt this season and is averaging a career high 28.5 points this year.  He is also doing a good job rebounding the ball, with an average of 7.5 boards per game.  Durant is doing a great job scoring for the Thunder, but he needs to be a little more selective on his three point shots.  He is only shooting 23% from three so far this season and most of that is due to Durant taking contested threes.  He has a great mid-range game and needs to utilize that more instead of throwing up difficult threes.

The Thunder built up a 74-59 lead heading into the 4th quarter before cruising to victory. Kevin Durant led the way for the Thunder with 32 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists last night. Russell Westbrook also was effective with 24 points and 7 assists last night. Jeff Green only shot 4 of 14 from the floor as he finished with 13 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists. The Thunder are now 6-5 on the year.

The Thunder have not given their rookies much of a chance to show what they can do yet. 20-year old shooting guard James Harden is the player the Thunder really have high hopes for in the near future. He has played in 10 games (0 starts) for the Thunder so far this season and he is averaging 17.5 minutes, 5.9 points, 2.7 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game. 20-year old center Serge Ibaka has only played in 4 games (0 starts) so far this season and he is averaging 6.0 minutes, 1.5 points and 1.5 rebounds per game this year. Fellow 20-year old center B.J. Mullens has yet to get into a game for the Thunder this year.

The Thunder only shot 38.8% from the floor last night and they were outscored 26-17 in the 4th quarter which did them in. Kevin Durant led the way for the Thunder last night with 40 points and 8 rebounds. Russell Westbrook only shot 5 of 17 from the floor but he still finished up with 17 points, 9 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 steals. Nenad Krstic pitched in with 10 points and 5 rebounds last night. The Thunder are now 5-5 on the year.

The Thunder got a huge road win last night in San Antonio over the Spurs. Kevin Durant only shot 6 of 18 from the floor but he still finished up with 25 points, 6 rebounds and 1 assist.
