@DarnellMayberry 9:15 p.m. Kendrick Perkins has tied Greg Monroe with six assists tonight.

@DarnellMayberry 9:11 p.m. There it is. Ibaka now has a career-high 23 points. He's 8-for-12 from the floor and 7-for-8 from the foul line.

@DarnellMayberry 9:02 p.m. With 21 points, Serge Ibaka is one basket away from setting a career high.

@DarnellMayberry 8:59 p.m. Make that three straight games Kevin Martin has been called for traveling...That's got to be a record.

@DarnellMayberry 8:52 p.m. Through three, the Thunder leads the Pistons 74-69.

@DarnellMayberry 8:41 p.m. Brooks wisely gets Westbrook out of there and puts Maynor in.

@DarnellMayberry 8:41 p.m. Russell Westbrook better be look out for Jason Maxiell on his next drive to the bucket. He just shoved Drummond and caused him to land hard.

@DarnellMayberry 8:06 p.m. At halftime, the Thunder leads the Pistons 49-42. Durant leads all scorers with 12 points. Eric Maynor's got 10. OKC now shooting 46%

@DarnellMayberry 8:05 p.m. Durant's headed for another big rebound game. He's got seven in the first half.

@DarnellMayberry 8:01 p.m. RT @Jumbl0 @DarnellMayberry there are some teams Perkins shouldn't play against. By some, I mean everybody but LA. (Memphis? Utah? Spurs?)

@DarnellMayberry 7:50 p.m. Westbrook, Sefolosha and Perkins return and, with Martin and Collison still on the floor, immediately kill that momentum. 36-35, Thunder.

@DarnellMayberry 7:49 p.m. Amazing how well the second unit just played considering it got virtually nothing from Reggie Jackson and Perry Jones III. +6 in 4+ min.

@DarnellMayberry 7:40 p.m. Doesn't look good for Daniel Orton tonight. Brooks looks like he's sticking to small ball.

@DarnellMayberry 7:35 p.m. After one, the Pistons lead the Thunder 19-18. Thunder shooting 26 percent. Pistons shooting a blistering 38 percent.

@DarnellMayberry 7:06 p.m. Just saw the Thunder Girls' new unis. They're 10 times better than the team's alternates. Suddenly that navy blue ain't so bad. Wonder why?

@DarnellMayberry 6:24 p.m. Not that they were going to speak out against it, but Russell Westbrook, Kevin Durant and Eric Maynor all endorsed the alternate uniform.

@DarnellMayberry 6:20 p.m. Thabeet will not be on the bench tonight. He'll stay in the back, making some lucky fan's day sitting behind the team's bench.
