Harden lifts Thunder to 4th win vs. Lakers this season

OKLAHOMA CITY -- Kobe Bryant led all scorers in Sundays Thunder, Lakers game with 34 points and in the process surpassed the 30,000 point mark for his career.

Neither helped his team get their first win against Oklahoma City this season as the Thunder won 87-81 to complete a season sweep of the Lakers.

James Harden continued his stellar play in absence of Kevin Durant by leading the team with 25 points off the bench.

The Lakers held the lead for most of the game until Harden turned it on in the 4th quarter to lift his team to the win.

Cole Aldrich had a career night with 14 points and 10 rebounds and Nick Collison added 10 points in 12 boards as the OKC bench outscored the starters 48-39.

Pau Gasol was the only Laker other than Kobe to score in double figures with 13 points and he also grabbed a team high 11 rebounds.

The Thunder face a quick turnaround as they travel to Denver to face the Nuggets tomorrow night. Oklahoma City dominated the last meeting 86-60 behind 23 points from Russell Westbrook.

Thunder win ugly as Collison pulls down a season high 14 rebounds

DENVER -- It wasn't a pretty win but it was a win nonetheless as the Thunder defeated the Nuggets 78-73 Monday night.

Neither team played well but in the end Oklahoma City was able to scrape together some key baskets to knock off the Nuggets.

James Harden led all scorers with 16 points and Nick Collison grabbed a season high 14 rebounds.

Back from his stint in China Wilson Chandler led the Nuggets with 14 points and Danilo Galinari and Arron Afflalo added 12 each.

The Thunder will hope to perform better as they return home to face the L.A. Clippers. Oklahoma City beat the Clips 86-84 in the last meeting behind 32 points from Kevin Durant who will miss this game due to injury.

Griffin's 20 pushes Clippers past Thunder 96-82

OKLAHOMA CITY -- Blake Griffin through down a thunderous slam to open the game and simultaneously slammed the door close on the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Griffin scored 20 points and grabbed 8 rebounds to lead the Clippers in a 96-82 rout of the Thunder.

Caron Butler added 17 and mid-season addition Kenyon Martin scored 14 points off the bench for L.A.

The disappointing Clippers sat the bottom of the Western conference standings for most of the season. A late season charge has brought them within 2 games of the eighth and final playoff spot, but with just four games left in the season they will need a lot of help to make the playoffs.

Russell Westbrook led the Thunder with 25 points in the teams first lost in their last seven games.

Poor shooting plagued Oklahoma City all night especially James Harden who scored 13 points, but most of them came at the free throw line, as the shot just 4 of 18 from the field.

Oklahoma City holds a 2 games lead over the Celtics for the best record in the league and home court advantage should the teams meet in the playoffs.

The Thunder will be looking to get back in the win column when they meet the Kings at home in OKC as the first of their set of back-to-back games of the season. The Thunder have won both previous meetings with Sacramento this season.

Kings rally in 4th to down Thunder 95-90

OKLAHOMA CITY -- In their final regular season home game, the Oklahoma City Thunder and their fans left the Chesapeake Energy Arena with a bad taste in their mouths.

After leading for three quarters the Thunder fell apart down the stretch and the Sacramento Kings outscored them 29-17 in the 4th to steal a 95-90 win.

Tyreke Evans set the pace for the Kings with 24 points, Macrus Thornton added 23 and DeMarcus Cousins had 20 to make it three Kings players to score at least twenty points.

"We've improved as a team, we're on the right path now," said Cousins.

Russell Westbrook led the Thunder with 25 points and James Harden scored 18 in Oklahoma City's second straight loss.

"We had a good lead and in the last five or six minutes we've been good all season," Thunder coach Scott Brooks said. "But the turnovers hit us tonight. We played with good effort, but we didn't play with a controlled effort."

Oklahoma City won't have time to dwell on the loss as they head out for a 3 game road trip to wrap up the regular season starting with the Minnesota Timberwolves tomorrow night. The T'Wolves a clinging to the 8th and final playoff spot with just a one game lead over the Spurs, Grizzlies, and Clippers.

Re: Thunder Struck - NBA 2k12 OKC Thunder Association



Thunder look solid in 94-78 win over T'Wolves

MINNEAPOLIS -- James Harden was tired, and Russell Westbrook admitted the same.

The combination of having to carry an extra load with Kevin Durant sidelined due to injury and playing their final back-to-back games of the season had the pair working harder than normal.

Despite the tiredness, Westbrook got off to hot start and Harden found his second wind in the 4th quarter too lead the Thunder to a 94-78 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Harden and Westbrook tied for the team lead in points with 19 each and Cole Aldrich notched a double-double off the bench with 13 points and 10 rebounds.

"They are fine," said Thunder coach Scott Brooks when asked if Durant and Serge Ibaka would return to the line-up before the playoffs begin.

"You want those guys back when they are ready and as a coach you want your players healthy."

Spanish rookie sensation Ricky Rubio led Minnesota with 17 points but had just 3 assists in the loss. Kevin Love sat out much of 1st quarter with foul trouble and was never able to get into the flow of the game scoring just 10 points and grabbing 9 rebounds.

Oklahoma City will have an off day as they travel to L.A. to face the Clippers who beat the Thunder 96-82 just 3 days ago. The Clippers sit 1.5 games outside of the 8th playoff spot making this a must win game if they hope to have an chance to making the post season.

Clippers come back to beat Thunder 83-79

LOS ANGELES -- The Los Angeles Clippers have had a disappointing season, yet if they can win out and get some help from the other teams vying for the final playoff spot they can still make the post-season.

Blake Griffin did his part to try and make it happen tonight.

With the Clippers up just two points in the final minute and Chris Paul on the bench after fouling out, Griffin hit an 18-foot jumper that gave his team a 4 point lead and ultimately the win.

Griffin led the Clip-show with 16 points and Mo Williams picked up the slack from Paul's foul trouble with 15.

While Oklahoma City wasn't in a must win situation they did get some good news as both Kevin Durant and Serge Ibaka returned to the line-up after being injured.

Durant scored 12 points in limited minutes and James Harden and Chris Douglas-Roberts tied for the team lead in scoring 13 points each off the bench.

OKC will close out the regular season against the Suns Wednesday night in Phoenix. The Suns currently sit 7th in the west one game ahead of several teams for the 8th and final playoff spot.
