TIP-INS

With three lopsided victories against Dallas, Golden State and Phoenix, Westbrook, Kevin Durant and Kendrick Perkins went the entire week without playing a single second in the fourth quarter. … OKC has now won seven straight at home and is 23-3 at The Peake this season. Its last loss was Jan. 2 against Brooklyn. … The Thunder is now: 11-1 on Fridays; 18-0 when it shoots 50-plus percent from the field; 17-1 when five-plus players score in double-figures; 12-1 with 10 or more blocks; 16-3 with 10 or more steals; 26-6 against Western Conference teams.

QUOTABLE

Beasley on whether Friday's loss felt worse than normal: “Every loss is disheartening, but by that many points, that's embarrassing … that adds a little more. That (where OKC is) is where we want to be in the near future.”
