The Oklahoman's Darnell Mayberry, John Rohde and Anthony Slater provided live coverage of OKC's win at Brooklyn.

@RohdeOK 9:08 p.m. Thunder plays its next five at home. If it goes 5-0, it will have the 20-4 start as originally projected. bit.ly/SwrbhO

@DarnellMayberry 9:07 p.m. Final score: Thunder 117, Nets 111. Kevin Durant scores a team-high 32 points. Russell Westbrook has 25 points & nine assists.

@anthonyVslater 9:06 p.m. Thunder 117, Nets 111. KD leads all scorers with 32. Westbrook with 25 and 9 assists. OKC improves to 15-4. Lakers on Friday.

@RohdeOK 9:02 p.m. OKC shoots 60.6% FG, 50.0% 3FG, 87.5% FT, yet leads Nets by just 115-109 with 7.7 seconds left. #lifeontheroad

@RohdeOK 8:57 p.m. Second offensive rebound of the game might be the clincher for OKC. Don't tell me offensive rebounds don't matter.

@anthonyVslater 8:47 p.m. Clutch KD keeping the Thunder ahead. He's got 30 tonight on 8-15 shooting. Silky fadeaway there. OKC up 108-104, 2:42 left.

@DarnellMayberry 8:43 p.m. Collison would have drawn a charge there. I guarantee it.

@DarnellMayberry 8:42 p.m. Looks like a pair of Thunder fans just got escorted out of the arena.

@anthonyVslater 8:41 p.m. The Thunder have now scored 100 or more points in 10 straight games. Previous OKC franchise record was seven.

@RohdeOK 8:32 p.m. Nets 13 offensive rebounds. OKC one.

@DarnellMayberry 8:32 p.m. Yup...he's good.

@DarnellMayberry 8:32 p.m. Westbrook just took a shot to the face...Watch Wolverine shake it off.

@anthonyVslater 8:30 p.m. Eric Maynor's been a lot better the past few games. Nine points and three assists tonight. Thunder second-unit playing well.

@RohdeOK 8:30 p.m. Still amazes me how loud the cheers are for OKC in Brooklyn. Sometimes sounds like a neutral site.

@RohdeOK 8:23 p.m. Nets score ridiculous 38 points in third quarter. Thunder outscored 18-0 on 3-pointers,

@DarnellMayberry 8:21 p.m. And leave it to KD to...well, be KD. Thunder 90, Nets 86 going into the fourth. #NBATVAlert

@anthonyVslater 8:21 p.m. OKC up 90-86 after three quarters. High-scoring, momentum swinging. KD has 24, DWilliams 25. Great finish brewing in Brooklyn.

@DarnellMayberry 8:20 p.m. Leave it to Nick Collison to kill the Nets' rally by drawing a charge.

@DarnellMayberry 8:19 p.m. Danger time for OKC. Brooks bringing KD back...probably should have never sat him after Westbrook picked up his fourth foul.

@anthonyVslater 8:01 p.m. Kevin Durant has scored 20+ points in 17 of the 19 games this year. Has 20 tonight. Averaging 26.2 (third in the NBA).

@anthonyVslater 7:57 p.m. College hoops update: OU falls 81-78 at Arkansas. Lon Kruger's Sooners are now 6-2 this season.

@RohdeOK 7:42 p.m. Chris Webber getting drilled at halftime by Greg Anthony while discussing @russwest44. Anthony gets it. Webber doesn't.

@anthonyVslater 7:37 p.m. Brooklyn has the second best defense in the NBA, giving up only 91.1 points per game. At halftime, the Thunder is on pace for 122.

@anthonyVslater 7:35 p.m. OKC up 61-48 on Brooklyn at halftime. KD with 17 pts, 4 reb, 3 ast. Westbrook with 15 pts, 6 ast, 2 reb. A combined 13-19 shooting.

@DarnellMayberry 7:34 p.m. Thunder closes the second quarter on a 16-6 run to take a 61-48 lead into halftime. OKC shooting 65.7 percent.

@ZachLowe_NBA 7:33 p.m. KD juuuuust missed the dunk of the year. Holy cow.

@anthonyVslater 7:28 p.m. Russell Westbrook filling up that first half stat line again: 15 points, 5 assists, 2 rebounds, 2 steals and 4 turnovers. He's 7-9 shooting.

@DarnellMayberry 7:28 p.m. RT @NubianQueen613 @DarnellMayberry: Dear Nets game operation staff: I get it. I'm in Brooklyn. #bittertweet Yup. I'm dying to live in BK.

@RohdeOK 7:27 p.m. Nets 6 offensive boards. OKC zero.

@RohdeOK 7:25 p.m. Whoa. Thought walking was legal in Brooklyn.

@RohdeOK 7:17 p.m. Brooklyn has four offensive rebounds. OKC zero.

@DarnellMayberry 7:16 p.m. Dear Nets game operation staff: I get it. I'm in Brooklyn.

@anthonyVslater 7:15 p.m. Can't believe Jerry Stackhouse is still in the NBA. He played against Scott Brooks in the mid-90s. Scoring 7.3 ppg for the Nets in 2012.

@RohdeOK 7:06 p.m. Man, they sure like to take their walks in Brooklyn. Nets had two in one sequence.

@DarnellMayberry 7:06 p.m. After one, the Thunder leads the Nets 31-28

@anthonyVslater 7:06 p.m. End of the first, OKC up 31-28 on the Nets. Westbrook and Sefolosha with 10 points (on a combined 9-12 shooting). KD with only three.

@DarnellMayberry 7:05 p.m. Why did Kevin Martin just bring the ball up? Can anybody tell me?

@DarnellMayberry 7:02 p.m. Somebody needs to tell Avery Johnson to get off the court.

@DarnellMayberry 7:01 p.m. Brooks was leaving Westbrook in before he picked up his second foul on that charge. He probably was enjoying the show like the rest of us.

@RohdeOK 7:00 p.m. For @russwest44 to truly be elite, he must stop being the last guy back down court after turnover or missed shot. #getback

@anthonyVslater 6:58 p.m. Russell Westbrook 5/6 for 10 points in the first quarter, Deron Williams 4/6 for 12. All-star PGs going at it, OKC up 25-23.

@DarnellMayberry 6:57 p.m. What's with all these dribble handoffs? The Thunder running the Princeton now?

@DarnellMayberry 6:56 p.m. This Russell Westbrook-Deron Williams matchup is so entertaining I can't help it even though it's the first quarter...#LeaguePassAlert

@RohdeOK 6:54 p.m. 4/4

@RohdeOK 6:54 p.m. Deron Williams 38.2% from field on season; 3/3 and 2/2 so far tonight.

@anthonyVslater 6:51 p.m. Only the fifth time Thabo Sefolosha has scored in double-digits this year. And he's done it in the first six minutes on 4-4 shooting.

@DarnellMayberry 6:50 p.m. Thabo Sefolosha, with 10 points, is the game's leading scorer.

@DarnellMayberry 6:49 p.m. Deron Williams looks like he's going at Westbrook.

@RohdeOK 6:48 p.m. Think back to 2008, who would have ever imagined so many Thunder fans in Brooklyn. Amazing start to a franchise.

@DarnellMayberry 6:45 p.m. Thunder is 3-for-3 from 3-point range in the first three minutes. Pardon the alliteration.

@DarnellMayberry 6:41 p.m. Kevin Durant nails a wide open 3 on the first possession of the game and we immediately see how many Thunder fans are in the building. A lot

@DarnellMayberry 6:36 p.m. Kendrick Perkins will be defending Andray Blatche.

@anthonyVslater 6:31 p.m. Interesting one about to tip in Brooklyn. Thunder v Nets. KD's first chance to showcase in front of the NBA's newest fanbase.
