@JenniCarlson_OK 6:08 p.m. Time for a little ball. #Thunder vs. Indiana tip comin' up in about two minutes.

@JenniCarlson_OK 6:10 p.m. @OKCThunderdude That did work for 'em, didn't it?

@JenniCarlson_OK 6:13 p.m. @OKCThunderdude Sure did.

@JenniCarlson_OK 6:14 p.m. An awful offensive start for both teams. Combined 2 of 11, and both of the makes are by Indiana. #Thunder

@JenniCarlson_OK 6:17 p.m. @gimmethewooby Didn't have room in my tweet for the word "fictional" ... :)

@JenniCarlson_OK 6:22 p.m. #Thunder trails 14-11 with 4:47 to go in the first quarter.

@RohdeOK 6:23 p.m. Thunder will be hard-pressed for 12th straight 100-point game tonight. Physical Pacers slow the game down to a crawl.

@DarnellMayberry 6:23 p.m. David West is giving Ibaka all kinds of trouble, on the block, at the elbow. Doesn't matter. He's got 10 points on 5 of 7 shooting.

@anthonyVslater 6:23 p.m. David West schooling Serge Ibaka early. Already has 10 points (on 5-7 shooting). Pacers up 16-12.

@DarnellMayberry 6:25 p.m. And Nick Collison takes over on West and immediately crowds him and relies on ball denial.

@JenniCarlson_OK 6:25 p.m. David West is having himself a quarter. Already has 10 points for Indiana. #Thunder

@JenniCarlson_OK 6:27 p.m. With 2:48 left in the first quarter, the Pacers lead the #Thunder 18-15. Durant leads OKC scorers with five points.

@DarnellMayberry 6:30 p.m. Eric Maynor checks in for Russell Westbrook, which tells us there's still rope left after 20 games.

@JenniCarlson_OK 6:30 p.m. #Thunder sleepwalking a bit defensively, but still down only two points.

@DarnellMayberry 6:31 p.m. @MikeWellsNBA @curtcavin H-no! You should have brought your butt to OKC! :)

@RohdeOK 6:31 p.m. Pacers lead #NBA in field-goal percentage defense (.409) and red-hot #Thunder starts out 5 for 13 (.385).

@JenniCarlson_OK 6:32 p.m. So, I missed this story until just now. Am I the only one? nba.si.com/2012/12/09/ste…

@RohdeOK 6:33 p.m. Kevin Martin to the rescue for #Thunder. James who?

@JenniCarlson_OK 6:33 p.m. Kevin Martin = on fire. 13 points in the quarter.

@JenniCarlson_OK 6:34 p.m. And the #Thunder D has come to life, too. That's why OKC is up 25-22 at the end of the first quarter.

@anthonyVslater 6:34 p.m. Kevin Martin had 13 points in the first quarter, the rest of the Thunder had 12. OKC up 25-22 on Indiana.

@JenniCarlson_OK 6:34 p.m. Back to Kevin Martin. He's 4 of 4 from the floor, 2 of 2 from three. Only blemish is one missed free throw.

@DarnellMayberry 6:35 p.m. After one, the Thunder leads Pacers 25-22. Kevin Martin comes off the bench and scores 13 points on 4-for-4 shooting in five minutes.

@RohdeOK 6:36 p.m. Kevin Martin 4/4 FG, 2/2 3FG, 3/4 FT for 13 points in five minutes. If he plays 30 minutes tonight, he'll have 78 points on 24 shots.

@DarnellMayberry 6:36 p.m. Who's going to match Psycho T's energy???

@anthonyVslater 6:43 p.m. Thunder bench already has 24 points. Had 26 the entire game against the Lakers. Second unit really playing well.

@JenniCarlson_OK 6:47 p.m. All of a sudden, the #Thunder is up double digits. 42-32 with 6:29 left in the second quarter.

@JenniCarlson_OK 6:48 p.m. #Thunder is 6 of 9 in this quarter. The second unit, plus a couple starters, is playing well.

@JenniCarlson_OK 6:52 p.m. All of a sudden, that double-digit #Thunder lead is gone. OKC up 45-39.

@JenniCarlson_OK 6:55 p.m. A four-point play for Indiana. Bucket and a foul plus a Westbrook technical. Indiana on a 13-0 run.

@DarnellMayberry 6:56 p.m. Pacers on a 13-0 run and have tied the game at 45-all with 3:13 left in the second quarter. Thunder struggling to score.

@JenniCarlson_OK 6:56 p.m. We're all tied up here at The Peake, 45-45. #Thunder good play late in the first and early in the second has disappeared.

@anthonyVslater 6:57 p.m. Kevin Martin has 20 points in 14 minutes. The Thunder starting lineup has 16 points in 65 minutes.

@DarnellMayberry 6:57 p.m. OKC is either turning it over or taking it to the rim hard but looking for contact instead of just finishing. It's leading to bad shots.

@JenniCarlson_OK 7:02 p.m. @robshahan They played, "Meow, meow, meow, mewo ... "? Awesome.

@anthonyVslater 7:02 p.m. David West outscoring Serge Ibaka 13-2 in the first half. Key matchup that the Pacers are winning.

@JenniCarlson_OK 7:05 p.m. A sneaky move there by Westbrook. Initiated the contact with David West to draw a foul. And the refs fell for it.

@JenniCarlson_OK 7:06 p.m. @robshahan That's a great one. Usually the back music on the visitor intros is pretty darn funny.

@anthonyVslater 7:06 p.m. At halftime, Kevin Martin is 6/7 shooting for 22 points, while KD and Westbrook are a combined 5-19 shooting for 18 points.

@JenniCarlson_OK 7:07 p.m. At halftime, #Thunder leads the Pacers 57-56. Kevin Martin leads all scorers with 22 points.

@DarnellMayberry 7:08 p.m. At halftime, the Thunder leads the Pacers 57-56. Kevin Martin leads the way with 22 points.

@JenniCarlson_OK 7:14 p.m. @Title_Monkey A little different, huh? And by little, I mean huge!

@JenniCarlson_OK 7:15 p.m. @robshahan Flight of the Bumblebee? Or is there a pelican song?

@JenniCarlson_OK 7:15 p.m. @OKCThunderdude Nope. Thunder Girl dance camp kiddos.

@JenniCarlson_OK 7:22 p.m. Second half of this one under way. Bet this is an entertaining finish. #Thunder

@anthonyVslater 7:28 p.m. Kevin Durant has hit 2+ threes in 10 of the past 11 games. He's 0-4 tonight.

@JenniCarlson_OK 7:28 p.m. Remember that sleepwalking defense from the first half? It's back, #Thunder fans.

@JenniCarlson_OK 7:29 p.m. @robshahan It would be funny, right?

@JenniCarlson_OK 7:32 p.m. With 5:22 left in the third quarter, #Thunder leads the Pacers 71-69.

@anthonyVslater 7:33 p.m. KD and Westbrook a combined 8-of-27 shooting tonight, but the Thunder still lead Indiana 71-69 in the third.

@DarnellMayberry 7:33 p.m. Fan screams "Wolf" to Westbrook as he's being chased down. Silly fan. Wolverine don't care about no wolf!!

@DarnellMayberry 7:34 p.m. @ktp1990 One or two.

@DarnellMayberry 7:36 p.m. Ibaka's one rebound away from a double-double.

@JenniCarlson_OK 7:55 p.m. Told ya this one was gonna be close in the end. #Thunder

@DarnellMayberry 8:06 p.m. Remember in Chicago when Kevin Durant told Scott Brooks: "I'm there when you need me, right?" Seems sort of like we're seeing that about now

@JenniCarlson_OK 8:08 p.m. Russell Westbrook with a monster block on Roy Hibbert, who got open in the lane. Then Russ sticks the J, and the #Thunder is up 100-91.

@JenniCarlson_OK 8:09 p.m. Kevin Durant is doing everything, too. He's scored 10 of the #Thunder's last 14 points and assisted on two more.

@anthonyVslater 8:14 p.m. That's 12 straight games of 100 or more points for the Thunder. And eight straight wins for the boys from OKC.

@DarnellMayberry 8:16 p.m. Final score: Thunder 104, Pacers 93. Kevin Durant, despite an off night, scores a game-high 27. Westbrook with 21, seven and six. K-Mart 24.
