The Oklahoman's Darnell Mayberry, John Rohde and Anthony Slater provided live coverage of Oklahoma City's game Monday night against the Washington Wizards.

5:44 p.m.
Trajan Langdon is standing in the press room holding court, officially becoming my most random sighting this season.

5:46 p.m.
Wizards probably could use the old Alaskan Assassin tonight.

6:07 p.m.
Kevin Durant just got an ovation like a hometown hero as he was introduced. Emphasis on hero.

6:09 p.m.
Timberwolves to be without Kevin Love for Wed. game vs. #Thunder.. es.pn/ZzdEM4

6:10 p.m.
The Thunder is second in the league in scoring (105.6 ppg). The Wizards are last (88.9 ppg). Mismatch in Washington tips soon.

6:10 p.m.
Meanwhile, you can count how many fans clapped for each Wizards player as he was introduced...Sad scene here in our nation's capital.

6:13 p.m.
Wizards fans, most of them anyway, are standing up until Washington scores its first bucket. Sound familiar?

6:16 p.m.
Howard and Gasol out indefinitely. Could miss Friday home game vs. #Thunder. es.pn/UCn3Bj

6:21 p.m.
Westbrook must be feeling good tonight. He's getting 'em up.

6:21 p.m.
The Chipotle burrito dash just isn't the same without Andray Blatche #wizards

6:22 p.m.
RT @NancyLieberman @DarnellMayberry u do great work covering @okcthunder (Thanks a lot. I really appreciate that.)

6:22 p.m.
Kenny Stills releases statement explaining his decision to leave OU for the NFL: bit.ly/RCSFo5

6:25 p.m.
I think it's time we start giving Russell Westbrook some credit for making Serge Ibaka a better player.

6:26 p.m.
Scott Brooks spoke about character & heart to explain how OKC recovered from 3-29 start in 08-09, then said, "Kevin Durant helps also."

6:27 p.m.
Thunder doesn't seem interested in playing defense tonight. Wizards have shooters are open all over the floor. Interior D hasn't been bad.

6:30 p.m.
Trevor Ariza back on court for 1st time since straining left calf on Dec. 4. #wizards announcer mention him, crowd snoozed.

6:32 p.m.
See, what the Thunder is doing right now is giving the Wizards confidence. Somebody better shut that off.

6:33 p.m.
After one, the Wizards lead the Thunder 30-20. Washington center Emeka Okafor has more points (eight) than Durant & Westbrook combined!

6:33 p.m.
#wizards up 10 on OKC after 1stQ. Martell Webster & Garrett Temple have outscored Durant & Westbrook. Just what everybody expected, right?

6:34 p.m.
The Wizards, averaging a league-low 88 points per game, are up 30-20 on OKC after the 1st qtr. Currently on 15-2 run. Thunder look lethargic

6:35 p.m.
So nice of Trevor Ariza to come back & deck the fourth row behind the basket with a halfcourt heave in his return #wizards

6:35 p.m.
#Thunder coach Scott Brooks hates giving up 30-point quarters. Imagine how much he hates giving up 30 to a 4-28 team.

6:35 p.m.
This matches the Wizards largest lead after a quarter this season. Led the Nets 30-20 after one on Friday.

6:39 p.m.
Kevin Durant just brought the home fans - he's from DC after all - back on his side with that lefty jam #wizards

6:42 p.m.
Trevor Ariza recovers, some, from getting juked by Kevin Durant with that steal & breakaway jam #wizards

6:44 p.m.
9:43 left in Q2. #Thunder trails @WashWizards 33-30. Thunder went on 13-2 run. KD 9 pts, Thabo 8. Thunder.nba.com

6:46 p.m.
Drum roll please. Fireworks through rafters. Jan Vesely has finally made it. He has more pts (62) than fouls (58) this season. #wizards

6:51 p.m.
KD was like, 'Enough of this. Time to play." OKC goes from down 10 to up 3 in 8 mins #wizards

6:51 p.m.
I'm waiting to see what happens when @sergeibaka9 asks a ref for the basketball so he can kiss it, and the ref refuses. #joeycrawford

6:52 p.m.
And here's Tony Jefferson's statement, explaining his decision to leave OU for the NFL: bit.ly/RCSFo5

6:53 p.m.
Vesely, Singleton & Mack RT @EdgeofSports As bad as Vesely has been, that whole 2011 draft was a near total horror show of awfulness.

6:56 p.m.
Kevin Durant before the game: "We can lose to any team in the league, so we got to be prepared and not take these guys lightly."

6:59 p.m.
Serge Ibaka says don't give me two shots at it.

7:00 p.m.
Thunder up 53-51 on the Wizards at halftime. Serge Ibaka and KD combine for 30, everyone else with 23.

7:01 p.m.
At halftime, the Thunder leads the Wizards 53-51. Kevin Durant and Serge Ibaka lead all scorers with 15 apiece.

7:05 p.m.
When going for last shot in quarter, #Thunder frequently puts four guys outside the arc, with Serge in the corner.

7:06 p.m.
15 points apiece for KD & Serge. #Thunder leads @WashWizards at halftime 53-51. @FSOklahoma

7:23 p.m.
I can't think of a time Russell Westbrook has been dunked on. Martell Webster just did it on a fast break when Westbrook challenged.

7:23 p.m.
#Thunder is top 3-point shooting team in NBA (.401). Wiz are No. 29 (.317). But OKC is getting outshot 50.0% to 26.7% tonight.

7:25 p.m.
Ibaka Flocka Flame

7:31 p.m.
Kendrick Perkins has a game-high nine rebounds with 3:47 left in the third quarter. It's the 4th straight game he's had at least 7.

7:33 p.m.
Wizards take the lead again. It's 72-70 Washington with 3:08 remaining in the third.

7:33 p.m.
Martell Webster having himself a ballgame, but I can't get over KD shooting an airball 3 & Russell barely hitting rim on next trip #wizards

7:35 p.m.
Uh, DeAndre Liggins is in the game.

7:37 p.m.
Emeka Okafor just stuffed Durant at the rim...and Liggins took a charge at the other end.

7:38 p.m.
Emeka Okafor just snuffed out KD on that attempted dunk. Sent ball & KD in the opposite direction. What a bizarre game #wizards

7:39 p.m.
Hey. Liggins is providing good minutes. Already has grabbed two rebounds, taken a charge and cut hard to the basket to earn to foul shots.

7:40 p.m.
Liggins just contested a runner by Trevor Ariza before grabbing the rebound on the miss.

7:41 p.m.
If the Thunder loses this game...

7:41 p.m.
Bradley Beal just got fouled on a desperation 3 & converted his 1st career 4-pt play. #wizards up 76-73 on OKC. You saw this coming, right?

7:41 p.m.
Through three quarters in Washington, the Wizards lead the Thunder 76-73.

7:46 p.m.
Q4 starts with #Thunder trailing @WashWizards 76-73. Serge Ibaka 21 pts, 8 rebs.

7:47 p.m.
#Thunder was league-best 12-2 last season when lost to league-worst 1-12 Wiz. Same positions tonight at 26-7 and 4-28. Same result?

7:48 p.m.
Thunder 0-for-3 with a shot clock violation to start the fourth quarter. Wizards lead growing.

7:49 p.m.
The 4-28 Wizards are up 79-73 on the Thunder in the fourth quarter. One positive for OKC? No one is watching.

7:57 p.m.
Y'all think I should ask Westbrook if it's OK to go bananas if they lose? Lol.

7:58 p.m.
Jan Vesely with 10 pts & 7 rebs. Just picked up his 1st foul. What's going on in here? #wizards

7:59 p.m.
The good news for the Thunder is the trips to the foul line are starting to mount. That's now the blueprint for winning this ballgame.

7:59 p.m.
Wizards dead last in scoring at 88.9 per game, and already has 88 with 6 1/2 minutes left vs. OKC. Pitiful defense by #Thunder.

8:01 p.m.
The bad news for the Thunder is turnovers and poor defensive rebounding are a huge issue in this final period.

8:03 p.m.
Wizards lead the Thunder 90-83 with 5:34 left to play.

8:06 p.m.
Kevin Durant has shot 2 airballs. Russell Westbrook just missed a point blank layup. #wizards

8:07 p.m.
#Thunder outscored 27-12 on 3-pointers.

8:08 p.m.
Wizards 94, Thunder 90 with 3:20 left to play.

8:10 p.m.
Washington lost 99-71 at Miami last night. #Thunder arrived in D.C. seven hours before Wiz did.

8:13 p.m.
Washington went scoreless for final 7:07 last night and was outscored 21-0 by Heat. OKC needs another Wiz dryspell in final 2:58.

8:15 p.m.
Bradley Beal just shook Kendrick Perkins to the floor. He will mean-mugging for a long time after that #wizards

8:16 p.m.
If you're not watching the Thunder-Wizards right now, you need to change the channel. Wizards 99, Thunder 94 with 1:43 remaining

8:16 p.m.
Let that tongue wag, Martell Webster. You earned it. #wizards up 99-94 w/1:43 remaining. Now, we're seen teams go on 11-0 runs in less time

8:17 p.m.
I don't know if I've ever seen 2 4-point plays in the same game. #wizards always providing oddities this season

8:18 p.m.
Another season-high by another Thunder opponent (Martell Webster with 22).

8:19 p.m.
Welcome home, KD.

8:20 p.m.
#Thunder@Wizards. KD pops a 3-pointer. Ties game at 99. 12 seconds left.

8:20 p.m.
Kevin Durant drills a game-tying 3-pointer with 36.5 seconds left to make it 99-99. Washington ball with 12.2 seconds left. #LeaguePassAlert

8:21 p.m.
To everybody filling my timeline with national championship this and that, I'm sure that 21-0 game is riveting. #sarcasm Change the channel!

8:23 p.m.
That's what kills me. People will watch football just because it's football. But, hey, I'm a basketball junkie.

8:24 p.m.
Now you see why OKC was so high on Bradley Beal. That right there. #wizards

8:24 p.m.
Bradley Beal comes through for the Wizards with a clutch 16-footer with 0.3 seconds left. Wizards lead 101-99. Thunder ball.

8:24 p.m.
Season-high 11 rebounds. Have other people who can score. RT @jay4217 Why is Perk in the game....don't we need more offense?

8:26 p.m.
Westbrook misses a desperation heave. Final score: Wizards 101, Thunder 99. The NBA's worst team falls to the league's worst.

8:26 p.m.
#Thunder falls short in DC, losing to @Wizards 101-99. Headed home to play @MNTimberwolves Wednesday night. thunder.nba.com

8:26 p.m.
The 5-28 Washington Wizards just joined the Memphis Grizzlies as the only NBA team to beat the Thunder and Heat this year. Crazy.

8:27 p.m.
Westbrook misses a desperation heave. Final score: Wizards 101, Thunder 99. The NBA's best team falls to the league's worst.

8:27 p.m.

8:29 p.m.
Perk actually helped on Thabo. RT @Tulsasooner13 @jay4217 but his defense stinks and the game winner was on him

8:34 p.m.
#wizards have 5 wins this season, with 2 coming over the teams that appeared in the NBA Finals. Makes perfect sense.

8:39 p.m.
#wizards last defeated both NBA Finalists in 2006-07 (MIA & DAL). 1st win this season without Nene

8:46 p.m.
And no John Wall for Wiz. Quick poll: Worst loss in Thunder history?

8:47 p.m.
#brightspot Serge Ibaka had 11 rebounds and career high 26 points tonight. Kendrick Perkins also grabbed 11 rebounds.
