  • JenniCarlson_OK If the wind pushed that crane into the Devon Tower, I see no obvious signs. Not sayin' it didn't happen, but not a mess LINK
    Mon, Feb. 20 2012 10:36:55 PM CST
  • JenniCarlson_OK Thanks for all the info on the crane at the Devon Tower, everyone. I'm headed out of the arena soon. Will get a photo if there is one ...
    Mon, Feb. 20 2012 10:17:54 PM CST
  • JenniCarlson_OK Hey, OKC peeps. Did something happen with that crane at the Devon Tower construction site tonight?
    Mon, Feb. 20 2012 09:40:04 PM CST
  • JenniCarlson_OK Durant and Westbrook both finish with 31 points.
    Mon, Feb. 20 2012 09:21:41 PM CST
  • JenniCarlson_OK This one's final -- Thunder 101, Hornets 93.
    Mon, Feb. 20 2012 09:21:26 PM CST
  • JenniCarlson_OK RT @DarnellMayberry: Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook have combined for only 60 points tonight. What's wrong with these guys?
    Mon, Feb. 20 2012 09:19:21 PM CST
  • JenniCarlson_OK @stephaniebice Daequan? He's 3 of 13 right now.
    Mon, Feb. 20 2012 09:18:11 PM CST
  • JenniCarlson_OK @DQSooner I believe that's right. Not a good night for Daequan at all. Struggling big time of late.
    Mon, Feb. 20 2012 09:17:53 PM CST
  • JenniCarlson_OK @taylormillerOSU Whew!
    Mon, Feb. 20 2012 09:17:30 PM CST
  • JenniCarlson_OK Thunder leads 99-91 with 47.7 seconds left.
    Mon, Feb. 20 2012 09:17:10 PM CST
  • JenniCarlson_OK All of a sudden, Thunder only up six points.
    Mon, Feb. 20 2012 09:15:32 PM CST
  • JenniCarlson_OK @taylormillerOSU Uh, oh. Was I doing anything foolish looking?
    Mon, Feb. 20 2012 09:15:16 PM CST
  • JenniCarlson_OK @jpearson27 Both injured last night. Harden ankle. Collison groin. Don't think either will be out long. Just not playing tonight.
    Mon, Feb. 20 2012 09:14:54 PM CST

    Mon, Feb. 20 2012 09:13:37 PM CST
  • JenniCarlson_OK Who's missed more shots, Chris Kaman or Daequan Cook? Hmm ....
    Mon, Feb. 20 2012 09:13:08 PM CST
  • JenniCarlson_OK @willieg44 Everyone not named Durant, Westbrook or Ibaka was. Cook, Perk not good vs. Nuggets. Ditto for the bench.
    Mon, Feb. 20 2012 09:11:34 PM CST
  • JenniCarlson_OK Also, Thunder playing shorthanded with Harden and Collison sidelined. Not an excuse. Just the reality in this super-condensed schedule.
    Mon, Feb. 20 2012 09:10:43 PM CST
  • JenniCarlson_OK Thunder limping to the finish in this one. But hey, it's the back side of a back-to-back after a high-energy OT game. Might be expected.
    Mon, Feb. 20 2012 09:10:02 PM CST
  • JenniCarlson_OK Aminu with a dunk outta nowhere. Flew down the baseline.
    Mon, Feb. 20 2012 09:08:29 PM CST
  • JenniCarlson_OK @willieg44 And tonight, the reserves are without Harden and Collison. Both banged up last night and held out tonight.
    Mon, Feb. 20 2012 09:07:30 PM CST
  • JenniCarlson_OK @lesliealison Your guess is as good as mine, Leslie. Unless your first date was a Thunder game or something, not the most original idea.
    Mon, Feb. 20 2012 09:06:42 PM CST
  • JenniCarlson_OK Now, Ibaka back on the court, and all the Thunder starters are out there. Lead back to 15 points.
    Mon, Feb. 20 2012 09:05:31 PM CST
  • JenniCarlson_OK Thunder up 92-78 with 6:10 left in this one.
    Mon, Feb. 20 2012 09:03:48 PM CST
  • JenniCarlson_OK Starters back to the scorers' table. Not sure KD, Russ or Perk wanted this.
    Mon, Feb. 20 2012 08:57:42 PM CST
  • JenniCarlson_OK Will the Thunder starters get to sit the rest of this one out? Not looking that way with the Thunder now leading only 84-74.
